A vector of four integers, corresponding to numbered leaves on the tree; or a character vector specifying the labels of four leaves.

overwritePar

Logical specifying whether to use existing mfrow and mar parameters from par() (FALSE), or to plot trees side-by-side in a new graphical device (TRUE).

caption

Logical specifying whether to annotate each plot to specify whether the quartet selected is in the same or a different state to the reference tree.
