In phytools: Phylogenetic Tools for Comparative Biology (and Other Things)

Plot a tree with one or more matched lollipop plots

Description

Plots an upward facing phylogenetic tree with one or more matched lollipop plots. Inspired by a plotting style used by Title et al. (2024).

Usage

plotTree.lollipop(tree, x, args.plotTree=list(), args.lollipop=list(), ...)

Arguments

tree	an object of class "phylo".
x	a matrix, data frame, or vector of numeric values.
args.plotTree	list of arguments to be passed to plotTree.
args.lollipop	list of arguments for the lollipop plot(s).
...	optional arguments.

Value

Creates a plot.

Examples

## load tree
data(anoletree)

## convert to simple "phylo" object
anole_tree<-as.phylo(anoletree)

## load trait data
data(anole.data)

## create new data frame with size &
## residuals of other traits
anole_data<-cbind(phyl.resid(anole_tree,
    x=as.matrix(anole.data[,"SVL",drop=FALSE]),
    Y=as.matrix(anole.data[,c(6,4,2)]))$resid,
    exp(anole.data[,"SVL",drop=FALSE]))

## create plot
plotTree.lollipop(anole_tree,anole_data,
    ylab=c("relative (TL)","relative (FLL)",
        "relative (HL)","SVL"))

## reset margins to default
par(mar=c(5.1,4.1,4.1,2.1))
