Description

Checks tree object validity, converts treedata to phylo, validates parameters, and performs unit sanity checks.

Usage

validate_inputs(
  tree,
  rank,
  unit,
  layout,
  triangle_mode,
  space_mode,
  add_timescale = TRUE,
  groups = NULL,
  clade = NULL,
  overwrite = "ask"
)

Arguments

tree	phylo or treedata object
rank	Taxonomic rank
unit	Time unit
layout	Layout type
triangle_mode	Triangle mode
space_mode	Space mode

Value
