The ControlFileGenerator is a graphical utility for generating control files for your G-PhoCS analysis.

The GUI consists of the following tabs: (follow them one by one to generate your control file)

1. General - set the general setup features of your analysis (i/o, print factors, modeling features, and MCMC finetune values). You may use the given default values for quick generation of a setup file

2. Tree - specify the population phylogeny using extended Newick format, associate each current population with a set of samples and each ancestral population with an initial split time value for sampling

3. Mig-Bands - specify ordered pairs of migration bands (optional)

4. Save - save your control file locally

*) Load - Load the settings of a previous made control file into the GUI
