PHYLOGR (version 1.0.11)

read.pdi.data: Read Pdi Data Files

Description

Reads one or more pdi data files, such as used by PDTREE, of the PDAP program bundle, and returns an R data frame. Allows to combine several pdi files and to change the name of variables.

Usage

read.pdi.data(input.pdi.files, variable.names=NULL)

Arguments

input.pdi.files

the name(s), with path if necessary, of the pdi file(s).

variable.names

an optional vector with the new names for the variables.

Value

A data frame (with class pdi.file and data frame) with first column the names of tips and remaining columns the data columns from the pdi file(s).

# You could jump directly to the call to the function if you
# are willing to enter the path explicitly.
# For example in some Linux systems the following works
# read.pdi.data("/usr/lib/R/library/PHYLOGR/Examples/49lbr.pdi")
# In Windows, maybe do:
# read.pdi.data("c:\\progra~1\\rw1001\\library\\PHYLOGR\\Examples\\49lbr.pdi")
