markChanges: Add marked changes to a plotted tree with mapped discrete character

Description

Adds the reconstructed changes to a plotted tree with a stochastically mapped discrete character.

Usage

markChanges(tree, colors=NULL, cex=1, lwd=2, plot=TRUE)

Value

This function returns (invisibly) a matrix containing the x & y coordinates of the marked changes on the plotted tree.

Arguments

tree

an object of class "simmap".

colors

a named vector of colors used to plot the stochastically mapped character on the tree.

cex

expansion factor for line height.

lwd
