/graph drawing/evolutionary unit length=hlengthi (initially 1cm)

Specifies how long a “unit” of evolutionary time should be on paper. For instance, if two nodes in a
phylogenetic tree have an evolutionary distance of 3 and this length is set to 1cm, then they will be 3cm
apart in a straight-line phylogram.
(This key used to be called distance scaling factor.)
