Function plots a tree with a mapped continuous character. The mapping is accomplished by estimating states at internal nodes using ML with fastAnc, and the interpolating the states along each edge using equation [2] of Felsenstein (1985).
errorbar.contMap adds error bars to an existing plot.
contMap(tree, x, res=100, fsize=NULL, ftype=NULL, lwd=4, legend=NULL,
lims=NULL, outline=TRUE, sig=3, type="phylogram", direction="rightwards",
plot=TRUE, ...)
# S3 method for contMap
plot(x, ...)
errorbar.contMap(obj, ...)object of class "phylo".
vector of phenotypic trait values for species. names(x) should contain the species names and match tree$tip.label. Or, for plot.contMap, an object of class "contMap".
resolution for gradient plotting. Larger numbers indicate a finer (smoother) gradient.
relative font size - can be a vector with the second element giving the font size for the legend.
font type - see options in plotSimmap. As with fsize, this can be a vector with the second element giving font type for the legend.
line width for branches. Can be a single integer number or a vector. In the latter case, the second number will be taken to be the desired legend width.
if FALSE no legend is plotted; if a numeric value, it gives the length of the legend in units of branch length. Default is 0.5 times the total tree length.
range for the color map. By default, this will be c(min(x),max(x)), and should always include this range.
logical value indicating whether or not to outline the branches of the tree in black.
the number of decimal places to show on the legend limits.
type of plot desired. Options are "phylogram" for a rightward square phylogram; and "fan" for a circular phylogram.
plotting direction for type="phylogram".
logical value indicating whether or not to plot the tree. If plot=FALSE then an object of class "contMap" will be returned without plotting.
object of class "contMap".
optional arguments for plot.contMap which include all the arguments of contMap except for tree, x, res, and lims. Also method, "fastAnc", "anc.ML", or "user" (for user-supplied states) specifying which function to use for ancestral state estimation; hold specifies whether or not to hold output to graphical device before plotting (defaults to hold=TRUE); and anc.states a vector containing some or multiple ancestral user-supplied ancestral states at nodes. Some other plotting arguments, such as xlim and ylim, may also work. Optional arguments for errorbar.contMap include x, a vector containing the original trait values mapped onto the tree (otherwise these will be obtained from obj), scale.by.ci, a logical argument (defaulting to TRUE) that determines whether or not the length of the error bars will be scaled by the CI width, and lwd, which detemines the line width of the plotted error bars.
Plots a tree. An object of class "contMap" is returned invisibly.
errorbar.contMap adds colorful error bars to a plotted tree.
