This function rotates all the nodes of the tree to try and minimize the different between the order of the tips and the rank-order of a numeric vector x
or (in the case of tipRotate
the actual integer vector, x
.
minRotate(tree, x, ...)
tipRotate(tree, x, ...)
A node-rotated object of class "phylo"
.
tree.
numeric vector.
optional arguments to be used by tipRotate
. Presently optional arguments can be fn
, function to be used to compute the distance between the order of the tip labels in tree
and the numeric vector x
(presently fn=function(x) x^2
by default); methods
, the method or methods of tree traversal (can be "pre"
, "post"
, or c("pre","post")
, for pre-, post-, or both pre- and post-order tree traversal); rotate.multi
, whether to rotate multifurcations in all possible ways using rotate.multi
(defaults to FALSE
); and print
, a logical argument specifying whether to print the search progress or to behave quietly. Only the option print
is available for minRotate
.

Both functions are designed primarily to be used internally by other phytools functions and particularly by phylo.to.map
(in the case of minRotate
) and by cophylo
(in the case of tipRotate
).
