Description

A wrapper to the paint function in ouch to ensure that regime paintings are automatically formatted for SURFACE analysis (painting the stem branch of a clade and ensuring that the root is assigned a regime)

Usage

repaint(otree, regshifts, stem = TRUE)

Arguments

otree
Phylogenetic tree in ouchtree format
regshifts
Named character vector of regime shifts
stem
A logical indicating whether the painting of a clade should include the stem branch; defaults to TRUE, and is set to TRUE during all calls within the surface functions

Value

A named character vector of regime assignments for each branch, as returned by paint
