Re: [graphviz-interest] Dendrograms/Cladograms

Hi Ron,

the ASCII layouts do not look nice for me.
But thanks to the given URLs I modified them ([1],[2]).

Both samples differ at whhere the node names have to be aligned (full  
diagram, partial).
Therefore I introduced "level same" to indicate that requirement.

Please see pretty printed JSON input files corresponding to both  
samples ([3],[4]).
Do you agree on the modified layouts which match the URLs you provided  
as well?

Hermann.
