The program does no alignment by itself, it has to take as input a file preprocessed by a multiple alignment program or a multiple file editor. See below for a list of supported input formats and output devices. There are some more options concerning the kind of shading to be applied, sequence numbering, consensus output and so on. The user interface is a bit clumsy at the moment, one has to answer a lot of questions in order to get the desired output. There is, however, the possibility to use default parameters from a standard parameter file or to supply the program with parameters from the command line.
Possible options depend on the graphics adapter used.
Possible character renditions are reverse, bold, underlined, blinking etc. Some of the formats above offer the possibility of scaling the characters and of rotating the plot. Character size has to be entered in 'point' units. When creating multi-page output, all pages are contained in a single output file.
