layoutDaylight: Equal daylight layout method for unrooted trees.

In ggtree: an R package for visualization of tree and annotation data

Description

#' @title

Usage

layoutDaylight(model, branch.length, MAX_COUNT = 5)

Arguments

model	tree object, e.g. phylo or treedata
branch.length	set to 'none' for edge length of 1. Otherwise the phylogenetic tree edge length is used.
MAX_COUNT	the maximum number of iterations to run (default 5)

Value

tree as data.frame with equal angle layout.

The following aglorithm aims to implement the vague description of the "Equal-daylight Algorithm" in "Inferring Phylogenies" pp 582-584 by Joseph Felsenstein.

Leafs are subtrees with no children
Initialise tree using equal angle algorithm
tree_df = equal_angle(tree)

nodes = get list of nodes in tree_df breadth-first
nodes = remove tip nodes.
