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.
TipTimedTree(tree, tipAge, minEdge = 1)Arguments
- tree
A tree of class
phylo.- tipAge
Numeric vector specifying the age (in units-of-time ago) associated with each tip in
tree$tip.labelin turn. Older ages signify earlier tips.- minEdge
Minimum length of edge to allow (in units-of-time)
Value
TipTimedTree() returns a tree with edge lengths set based on the
ages of each tip.
