HapStar is a tool for viewing both types of networks, and is designed to directly use the output data generated from Arlequin. HapStar is unique in that it automatically lays out the network for optimal visualisation, and provides the option to calculate a Minimum Spanning Network from a list of alternative connections. HapStar provides a user-friendly interface, and publication-ready figures can be exported simply.</p> <p><!--break--></p> <h3>Installing</h3> <p>HapStar works on Windows, Linux or OSX and requires python to be installed on your computer - which you can <a href="http://www.python.org/download">find here</a>.</p> <p>Download the current version:</p> <ul> <li> <a href="http://www.pawfal.org/hapstar/hapstar-0.6.zip">hapstar-0.6.zip</a> (Windows) </li> <li> <a href="http://www.pawfal.org/hapstar/hapstar-0.6.tar.gz">hapstar-0.6.tar.gz</a> (Linux/OSX) </li> </ul> <p>To run, simply extract the zip or tar archive and double click on "hapstar.py".
