ImposeConstraint: Force a tree to match a constraint

In TreeTools: Create, Modify and Analyse Phylogenetic Trees

Force a tree to match a constraint

Description

Modify a tree such that it matches a specified constraint. This is at present a somewhat crude implementation that attempts to retain much of the structure of tree whilst guaranteeing compatibility with each entry in constraint.

Usage

ImposeConstraint(tree, constraint)

AddUnconstrained(constraint, toAdd, asPhyDat = TRUE)

Arguments

tree	A tree of class phylo.
constraint	Either an object of class phyDat, in which case returned trees will be perfectly compatible with each character in constraint; or a tree of class phylo, in which each node in constraint will occur in the returned tree. See vignette for further examples.
toAdd	Character vector specifying taxa to add to constraint.
asPhyDat	Logical: if TRUE, return a phyDat object; if FALSE, return a matrix.

Value

ImposeConstraint() returns a tree of class phylo, consistent with constraint.

Functions

• AddUnconstrained(): Expand a constraint to include unconstrained taxa.
