# vstree2tex(1)

pretty-print a virtual tree

## NAME

vstree2tex - pretty-print a virtual tree

## SYNOPSIS

**vstree2tex** \[options\] indexname

## DESCRIPTION

The program **vstree2tex** produces a representation of a virtual suffix tree in LATEX format and print it to standard output. Note that **vstree2tex** should only be used for very small indexes since it produces large output files.

Suppose the total length of all sequences in the index is n. If the option **-s** is not used, then the output size of **vstree2tex** is about 10n bytes per option  (plus some constant number of bytes for the header and the footer of the LATEX file). If the option **-s** is used, then the size of the output is proportional to n^2.

The program is mainly designed for debugging a program based on the index and for educational purposes.
