Summary description: Simple syntax and smarter layout for trees in TikZ
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
This package provides a macro for drawing trees with TikZ using the easy syntax of Alexis Dimitriadis' Qtree. It improves on TikZ's standard tree-drawing facility by laying out tree nodes without collisions; it improves on Qtree by adding lots of features from TikZ (for example, edge labels, arrows between nodes); and it improves on pst-qtree in being usable with pdfTeX and XeTeX.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-qtree . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/tikz-qtree (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
