getRoot {phangorn}

Tree manipulation

Description

midpoint performs midpoint rooting of a tree. pruneTree produces a consensus tree.

Usage

getRoot(tree)

midpoint(tree, node.labels = "support", ...)

## S3 method for class 'phylo'
midpoint(tree, node.labels = "support", ...)

## S3 method for class 'multiPhylo'
midpoint(tree, node.labels = "support", ...)

pruneTree(tree, ..., FUN = ">=")

Arguments

tree

an object of class phylo.

node.labels

are node labels 'support' values (edges), 'label' or should labels get 'deleted'?

...

further arguments, passed to other methods.

FUN

a function evaluated on the nodelabels, result must be logical.

Details

pruneTree prunes back a tree and produces a consensus tree, for trees already containing nodelabels. It assumes that nodelabels are numerical or character that allows conversion to numerical, it uses as.numeric(as.character(tree$node.labels)) to convert them. midpoint so far does not transform node.labels properly.

Value

pruneTree and midpoint a tree. getRoot returns the root node.

Examples

tree <- rtree(10, rooted = FALSE)
tree$node.label <- c("", round(runif(tree$Nnode-1), digits=3))

tree2 <- midpoint(tree)
tree3 <- pruneTree(tree, .5)

old.par <- par(no.readonly = TRUE)
par(mfrow = c(3,1))
plot(tree, show.node.label=TRUE)
plot(tree2, show.node.label=TRUE)
plot(tree3, show.node.label=TRUE)
par(old.par)
