Research direction

Review pull request 817 and the existing tree-generation flow, focusing on how Flask handles ete3 output in the static or session folders and how templates access it. Clarify the preferred approach for circular consensus trees, then verify that the resulting tree is rendered and accessible from the relevant template.

Description

enhancement Vizualization

In pull request 817 we discussed some strategies for getting circular trees. @Weiqi97 mentioned that there were some problems getting ete3 working with Flask. However, I was able to get it to generate a circular dendrogram and save it to the static folder where it could be accessed by the template. So I'm wondering if the problem is that, now that we are using plotly, we no longer save images to the session folder. If the old code we used for that is lost, perhaps we could revive it, and we could use ete3. Or was there another problem with ete3?

Of course, we can still consider other options since the ete3 image is static.
