| TipTimedTree {TreeTools} | R Documentation |
Display time-calibrated tree using tip information only
Description
TipTimedTree() plots a phylogenetic tree against time using an
ad hoc approach based on dates associated with the leaves.
Nodes are dated to the youngest possible value, plus an additional "buffer"
(specified with minEdge) to ensure that branching order is readable.
Usage
TipTimedTree(tree, tipAge, minEdge = 1)
Arguments
tree |
A tree of class |
tipAge |
Numeric vector specifying the age (in units-of-time ago)
associated with each tip in |
minEdge |
Minimum length of edge to allow (in units-of-time) |
Details
This experimental function is liable to change its behaviour, or to be deprecated, in coming releases. Please contact the maintainer if you find it useful, so that a production-ready version can be prioritized.
Value
TipTimedTree() returns a tree with edge lengths set based on the
ages of each tip.
