From: On the use of cartographic projections in visualizing phylo-genetic tree space

Figure 10

A 2-D cartographic projection of all 5 taxon trees, with reference vectors represented through a simple modulo 3 hash. Under this simple hash function and small representative table size there are only 5 locations which correspond to valid trees. This projection is therefore not one-to-one. In practice this possibility is mitigated by using a larger table. The vector for the tree ((1,2),3,(4,5)) is also shown. The point corresponding to this tree is highlighted in the graph.
