Figure readability for publication?

[hbbshulman]

Hello,

I currently have a manuscript in revision with some heattree figures using metacoder - a reviewer has expressed concern about my tree being readable. Currently I have two high resolution tiff files each containing <225 points (jpeg version of one attached below) and supplementary tables with full information about significantly different taxa. The value I am using to plot color is the log fold change from ANCOM-BC analysis. I am not exactly sure how to proceed with addressing the reviewer's concern and was wondering if you or anyone else using the package had run into a similar issues during publication, and if so how you resolved the issue. Thanks for your help and for making this package! -Hannah

Hello Hannah,

Sorry for the delay.

Aside from those tips, it seems that replacing the dark blue with a lighter color might help see the black labels.
