		showTipLabel = TRUE, showNodeLabel = FALSE, displayLegend = TRUE, 
		trees = NULL)

Arguments

treeList

A list that contains at least one tree of type 'phylo'.

Details

Notes:

1. The phylo type is a product of the ape package and the createTrees function in this package produces a list of phylo type objects for use with this function.

2. The values for division should directly relate to the values of your data, i.e. if your data ranges from 0 to 50000 reads you should adjust the divisions to fit your data.

Examples

	data(saliva)
	
	### Creates a tree for the 4th sample in 'Saliva' then plots it
	salivaTree <- createTrees(saliva[,4, drop=FALSE])
	plotTree(salivaTree, displayLegend=FALSE)
