strap is an R package designed to perform stratigraphic analysis of phylogenies, including basic time-scaling, visualisation of time-scaled trees, and applying stratigraphic congruence metrics.

You can install strap in R via CRAN with:

install.packages("strap", dependencies = TRUE)

Or from github with:

devtools::install_github("graemetlloyd/strap")

And load it into memory using:

library(strap)
