Description

Phylip contrast documentation.

Usage

Here is a sample session with econtrast for the data:-
    5   2
Homo        4.09434  4.74493
Pongo       3.61092  3.33220
Macaca      2.37024  3.36730
Ateles      2.02815  2.89037
Galago     -1.46968  2.30259

and the tree input file of

((((Homo:0.21,Pongo:0.21):0.28,Macaca:0.49):0.13,Ateles:0.62):0.38,Galago:1.00);
