NAME

Bio::Phylo::Unparsers::Nexus - Unparses nexus matrices. No serviceable parts inside.

DESCRIPTION

This module turns a Bio::Phylo::Matrices::Matrix object into a nexus formatted matrix. It is called by the Bio::Phylo::IO facade, don't call it directly. You can pass the following additional arguments to the unparse call:

        # an array reference of matrix, forest and taxa objects:
        -phylo => [ $block1, $block2 ]
        
        # the arguments that can be passed for matrix objects, 
        # refer to Bio::Phylo::Matrices::Matrix::to_nexus:
        -matrix_args => {}

        # the arguments that can be passed for forest objects, 
        # refer to Bio::Phylo::Forest::to_nexus:
        -forest_args => {}

        # the arguments that can be passed for taxa objects, 
        # refer to Bio::Phylo::Taxa::to_nexus:
        -taxa_args => {}        
        
        OR:
        
        # for backward compatibility:
        -phylo => $matrix
