| rotateNodes {phytools} | R Documentation |
This function is a wrapper for rotate which rotates a set of nodes or all nodes.
rotateNodes(tree, nodes, polytom=c(1,2), ...)
tree |
object of class |
nodes |
either a single node number to rotate, a vector of node numbers, or the string |
polytom |
a vector of mode numeric and length two specifying the two clades that should be exchanged in a polytomy (see |
... |
optional arguments. |
Also addresses the problem that the product of multiple rotations from rotate can be non-compliant with the implicit "phylo" standard because the tip numbers in tree$edge are not in numerical order 1:n for n tips.
An object of class "phylo" (i.e., a phylogenetic tree).
