phylomorphospace3d: Creates phylomorphospace plot

Description

This function creates a phylomorphospace plot for three characters using the 3D visualization package, 'rgl'.

Usage

phylomorphospace3d(tree, X, A=NULL, label=TRUE, control=list())

Arguments

tree

a phylogenetic tree in "phylo" format.

X

an n x 3 matrix of tip values for two characters in n species.

A

an optional m x 3 matrix (for m nodes) of values for two taits at internal nodes in the tree - if not supplied, these values will be estimated using anc.ML.

label

logical value indicating whether to print tip labels next to terminal nodes in the plot (presently doesn't do anything, but labels can be dropped using control).

control

a list containing the following optional control parameters: spin: a logical value indicating whether to animate the plot when created; axes: a logical indicating whether to plot the axes; box: a logical value indica

Value

• this function creates a three dimensional phylomorphospace plot
