Hi there, I have hacked a package \'a la boxes for drawing trees. It's pretty primitive but it works. In due time I'll improve the package and add different methods to draw trees. The major difference between the boxes and tree package is that the boxit equivalent (treeit) of the tree package returns a picture. I've attached the package and the example.
