Building A Ultrametric Phylogenetic Tree With Integer Branch Length

Are there any programs out there that allow you to build an ultrametric tree and have the branch lengths displayed in integers?

ultrametric-tree

I do not know the answer, but I do not think it would be difficult to write a quick function to parse your data object and then convert to integer. For example, suppose your branch lengths are all decimals with 16 digits, e.g.,

branch_1_length = 0.1234567890123456

if this is so, then it would follow that:

branch_1_length * 10^16 = 1234567890123456

but 1234567890123456 is an integer...
