TipTimedTree

<code>TipTimedTree()</code> plots a phylogenetic tree against time using an
ad hoc approach based on dates associated with the leaves.
Nodes are dated to the youngest possible value, plus an additional "buffer"
(specified with <code>minEdge</code>) to ensure that branching order is readable.

Efficient implementations of functions for the creation,
modification and analysis of phylogenetic trees.
Applications include:
generation of trees with specified shapes;
tree rearrangement;
analysis of tree shape;
rooting of trees and extraction of subtrees;
calculation and depiction of split support;
plotting the position of rogue taxa (Klopfstein & Spasojevic 2019)
<doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0212942>;
calculation of ancestor-descendant relationships,
of 'stemwardness' (Asher & Smith, 2022) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syab072>,
and of tree balance (Mir et al. 2013, Lemant et al. 2022)
<doi:10.1016/j.mbs.2012.10.005>, <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syac027>;

TipTimedTree function

<dl><dt>tree</dt>
<dd>A tree of class <code>phylo</code>.</dd>
<dt>tipAge</dt>
<dd>Numeric vector specifying the age (in units-of-time ago)
associated with each tip in <code>tree$tip.label</code> in turn.
Older ages signify earlier tips.</dd>
