=head1 NAME

Bio::Phylo::Unparsers::Nhx - Serializer used by Bio::Phylo::IO, no serviceable parts inside

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module turns a tree object into a New Hampshire eXtended-formatted (parenthetical)
tree description. It is called by the L facade, don't call it directly.
You can pass the following additional arguments to the unparse call:

	# by default, names for tips are derived from $node->get_name, if
	# 'internal' is specified, uses $node->get_internal_name, if 'taxon'
	# uses $node->get_taxon->get_name, if 'taxon_internal' uses
	# $node->get_taxon->get_internal_name, if $key, uses $node->get_generic($key)
	-tipnames => one of (internal|taxon|taxon_internal|$key)

	# for things like a translate table in nexus, or to specify truncated
	# 10-character names, you can pass a translate mapping as a hashref.
	# to generate the translated names, the strings obtained following the
	# -tipnames rules are used.
	-translate => { Homo_sapiens => 1, Pan_paniscus => 2 }

	# if set, appends labels to internal nodes (names obtained from the same
	# source as specified by '-tipnames')
	-nodelabels => 1

	# specifies a branch length sprintf number formatting template, default is %f
	-blformat => '%e'

In addition, you can influence what key/value pairs are inserted into the NHX "hot
comments" in two ways. The first way (and the way that is least likely to cause
unintentional mishaps) is by attaching a Meta annotation to a node. This annotation
has to be associated with the NHX namespace. Here is an example:

	use Bio::Phylo::Util::CONSTANT ':classnames';

	# ...other things happening...
	$node->set_namespaces( 'nhx' => _NS_NHX_ );
	$node->set_meta_object( 'nhx:foo' => 'bar' );

	# which results in: [&&NHX:foo=bar]

The other way is by using the set/get generic methods, e.g.:

	$node->set_generic( 'foo' => 'bar');

However, this is riskier because everything you attach to an object using these methods
will be inserted into the NHX, including references (which won't serialize well).
