Using ColorPhylo is straightforward. Hierarchical classifications can be easily displayed together with their relationships with any other organisation of the data. We have observed on real life examples that the interpretation of the resulting color code is fully intuitive. In the first example, geographical origins of bananaquit birds are related to phylogenetic data in order to analyse the evolutionary history. However, because the number of items and the complexity of the dataset was somewhat low, Bellemain and co-authors succeeded in describe the relationships between taxonomy and geographical distribution in their publication (but at the price of more irksome work). When the size of the dataset and/or the complexity of their relationships increase, ColorPhylo can provide a critical benefit, as it can be observed for the second application. In that example, (genomic signature) colors express the membership of items to one of the three domains of life, with subtle shades showing subclasses. In both cases, we have instantaneously access to the structure of classification through an attractive visualisation plot.
