as.Node.phylo: Convert a phylo object from the ape package to a Node

Description

Convert a phylo object from the ape package to a Node

Usage

# S3 method for phylo
as.Node(
  x,
  heightName = "plotHeight",
  replaceUnderscores = TRUE,
  namesNotUnique = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

The phylo object to be converted

heightName

If the phylo contains edge lengths, then they will be converted to a height and stored in a field named according to this parameter (the default is "height")

replaceUnderscores

if TRUE (the default), then underscores in names are replaced with spaces

namesNotUnique

if TRUE, then the name of the Nodes will be prefixed with a unique id. This is useful if the children of a parent have non-unique names.

...

any other parameter to be passed to sub-implementations

bf <- as.Node(bird.families)
height <- bf$height
t <- Traverse(bf, filterFun = function(x) x$level == 25)
Get(t, "name")
