Converts any phylo object to a matrix of pairwise tip-to-tip distances.
phy2dist(tree, precompute_dist = TRUE)object of class phylo.
object of class logical or numeric.
When TRUE (by default) a distance matrix is generated and stored in slot
distance, when FALSE no distance matrix is generated, and when numeric
a distance matrix is generated until the number of species exceeds the
defined value.
phy2sim(x) returns an object of class distance
containing a matrix of pairwise tip-to-tip distances.
