phylomorphospace: Creates phylomorphospace plot

Description

This function creates a phylomorphospace plot for two characters following Sidlauskas (2008; Evolution).

Usage

phylomorphospace(tree,X,A=NULL,label=TRUE,control=list())

Arguments

tree

a phylogenetic tree in "phylo" format.

X

an n x 2 matrix of tip values for two characters in n species.

A

an optional m x 2 matrix (for m nodes) of values for two taits at internal nodes in the tree - if not supplied, these values will be estimated using ace.

label

logical value indicating whether to print tip labels next to terminal nodes in the plot.

control

a list containing the following optional control parameters: col.edge: a vector of edge colors; and col.node: a vector of node colors.

Value

• this function creates a phylomorphospace plot
