Visualize position of rogue taxa

Plots a consensus of trees with a rogue taxon omitted, with edges coloured according to the proportion of trees in which the taxon attaches to that edge, after Klopfstein and Spasojevic (2019) .

RoguePlot(
  trees,
  tip,
  p = 1,
  plot = TRUE,
  Palette = colorRampPalette(c(par("fg"), "#009E73"), space = "Lab"),
  nullCol = rgb(colorRamp(unlist(par(c("fg", "bg"))), space = "Lab")(0.8)/255),
  edgeLength = NULL,
  thin = par("lwd"),
  fat = thin + 1L,
  outgroupTips,
  sort = FALSE,
  legend = "none",
  legend.inset = 0,
  ...
)

Arguments

trees: List or multiPhylo object containing phylogenetic trees of class phylo to be summarized.
tip: Numeric or character identifying rogue leaf, in format accepted by DropTip().
p: A numeric value between 0.5 and 1 giving the proportion for a clade to be represented in the consensus tree (see Consensus()).
plot: Logical specifying whether to plot the tree.
Palette: Function that takes a parameter n and generates a colour palette with n entries.
nullCol: Colour to paint regions of the tree on which the rogue is never found.
edgeLength: Numeric specifying edge lengths of consensus tree; NULL aligns tips by scaling edges proportional to clade size; 1 sets all edges to unit length.
thin, fat: Numeric specifying width to plot edges if the rogue tip never / sometimes does attach to them.
outgroupTips: Vector of type character, integer or logical, specifying the names or indices of the tips to include in the outgroup. If outgroupTips is a of type character, and a tree contains multiple tips with a matching label, the first will be used.
sort: Logical specifying whether to sort consensus tree using SortTree().
legend: Character vector specifying position of legend (e.g. "bottomleft"), or "none" to suppress legend. For fine-grained control of legend, use PlotTools::SpectrumLegend().
legend.inset: Numeric specifying fraction of plot width / height by which the legend's position should be inset.
...: Additional parameters to plot.phylo().

Value

RoguePlot() invisibly returns a list whose elements are:

cons: The reduced consensus tree, in preorder;
onEdge: a vector of integers specifying the number of trees in trees in which the rogue leaf is attached to each edge in turn of the consensus tree;
atNode: a vector of integers specifying the number of trees in trees in which the rogue leaf is attached to an edge collapsed into each node of the consensus tree.

Details

Rogue taxa can be identified using the package Rogue (Smith 2022) .
