| read.newick {phytools} | R Documentation |
This function reads a Newick style tree from file.
read.newick(file="", text)
file |
name of text file with single Newick style tree or multiple trees, one per line. |
text |
character string containing tree. |
This function is almost completely redundant with read.tree; however it is 'robust' in that it does not fail if the tree contains so-called 'singles' (nodes with only one descendant).
An object of class "phylo", possibly containing singles (see collapse.singles).
