MatchEdges: Match nodes and edges between trees

In TreeTools: Create, Modify and Analyse Phylogenetic Trees

Match nodes and edges between trees

Description

MatchNodes() and MatchEdges() matches nodes or edges in one tree to entries in the second that denote a clade with identical tip labels.

Usage

MatchEdges(x, table, nomatch = NA_integer_)

MatchNodes(x, table, nomatch = NA_integer_, tips = FALSE)

Arguments

x	Tree whose nodes are to be matched.
table	Tree containing nodes to be matched against.
nomatch	Integer value that will be used in place of NA in the case where no match is found.
tips	Logical specifying whether to return matches for tips; unless TRUE, only the matches for internal nodes will be returned.

Details

The current implementation is potentially inefficient. Please contact the maintainer to request a more efficient implementation if this function is proving a bottleneck.
