MakeTreeBinary

<code>MakeTreeBinary()</code> resolves, at random, all polytomies in a tree or set of
trees, such that all trees compatible with the input topology are drawn
with equal probability.

Efficient implementations of functions for the creation,
modification and analysis of phylogenetic trees.
Applications include:
generation of trees with specified shapes;
tree rearrangement;
analysis of tree shape;
rooting of trees and extraction of subtrees;
calculation and depiction of split support;
plotting the position of rogue taxa (Klopfstein & Spasojevic 2019)
<doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0212942>;
calculation of ancestor-descendant relationships,
of 'stemwardness' (Asher & Smith, 2022) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syab072>,
and of tree balance (Mir et al. 2013) <doi:10.1016/j.mbs.2012.10.005>;
artificial extinction (Asher & Smith, 2022) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syab072>;
import and export of trees from Newick, Nexus (Maddison et al. 1997)
<doi:10.1093/sysbio/46.4.590>,
and TNT <https://www.lillo.org.ar/phylogeny/tnt/> formats;
and analysis of splits and cladistic information.
