Draw phylogenetic tree with zoom into a specific clade

Does anyone know a nice tool where it is possible to draw a phylogenetic tree but where you have also the option to zoom into a specific clade of the tree to have a higher resolution there (so that would mean to have an extra scale for this blown up clade).

Input would be standard newick format.

And yes, "publishing ready" quality is necessary :)

I wrote some tools for newick: https://github.com/lindenb/newicktools

convert the newick to xml and the convert it to gexf using a xslt stylesheet and visualize the gexf in http://www.gephi.org

example:

curl -s 'https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=taxonomy&retmode=xml&id=9606,10090,9031,7227,562' |./taxonomy2newick | ./newick2xml | xsltproc xml2gexf.xslt - > out.gexf
