Renumber() numbers the nodes and tips in a tree to conform with the
phylo standards.
Arguments
- tree
A tree of class
phylo.
Value
Renumber() returns a tree of class phylo, numbered in a
Cladewise fashion consistent with the expectations of ape functions.
Details
The ape class phylo is not formally defined, but expects trees' internal
representation to conform to certain principles: for example, nodes should
be numbered sequentially, with values increasing away from the root.
Renumber() attempts to reformat any tree into a representation that will
not cause ape functions to produce unwanted results or to crash R.

Preorder() provides a faster and simpler alternative, but also
rotates nodes.
