Is there an alternative tree drawing program that can be used for large numbers of sequences?

If the number of sequences is very large, the default tree drawing program can generate an image that is too large to capture with print screen. In these situations a number of other programs may help to scale the image down:
http://pearl.cs.pusan.ac.kr/phylodraw/
http://pfaat.sourceforge.net/
http://taxonomy.zoology.gla.ac.uk/rod/treeview.html
You will need to install the application on your PC. Then save your ClustalW tree file (.ph) and use it with the application.
