Scale bar in Phylotree.js

[bonfaceonyango]

What are the units of the scale bar used in phylotree.js? Is it to showing the percentage distance between the nodes of the phylogeny tree? Like 0.04 is 40%

Dear @bonfaceonyango,

It's whatever the branches are scaled in. Typically, expected substitutions/site/unit time. So 0.04 would be ~4%.

Best,
