How to draw Phylogenetic Tree of large dataset

1 view (last 30 days)
I want to draw a phylogenetic tree of a dataset comprising of 120 sequences. I have used plot(tree,'orient','left') command for this. The resulted phylogenetic tree is very much congested. It is impossible to access the result. The result is attached. Is there any way to clearly visualise the result?

Experiment with this (after the figure has been generated):
pos = get(gcf,'Position');
set(gcf, 'Position',pos+[-500 -900 500 1000])
Make appropriate changes to get the result you want.

Thanks but the plot is still congested. Is there any alternative way?

As always, my pleasure!
The only way I can think of is to make it full-screen. There could be a way to do that programmatically, however experimenting with the 'OuterPosition' property as [0 0 1 1] that I though would do that, does not.
Instead, experiment with this:
set(gcf, 'OuterPosition',[0 0 2500 1400])
to get the result you want.
Another option is to experment with the 'FontSize' property if available, however since I cannot figure out that plot was created, I do not know if it has a 'FontSize' property that is possible to set.
