UnshiftTree() adds a phylogenetic tree to the start of a list of trees.
This is useful where the class of a list of trees is unknown, or where
names of trees should be retained.
Arguments
- add
Tree to add to the list, of class
phylo.- treeList
A list of trees, of class
list,multiPhylo, or, if a single tree,phylo.
Value
UnshiftTree() returns a list of class list or multiPhylo
(following the original class of treeList), whose first element is the
tree specified as `add.
Details
Caution: adding a tree to a multiPhylo object whose own attributes apply
to all trees, for example trees read from a Nexus file, causes data to be
lost.
See also
c() joins a tree or series of trees to a multiPhylo object, but loses
names and does not handle lists of trees.
