Plots a phylogeny in two columns

Description

Plots a tree in two columns or windows.

Usage

splitplotTree(tree, fsize=1.0, ftype="reg", lwd=2, split=NULL, new.window=FALSE)
plotTree.splits(tree, splits=NULL, file=NULL, fn=NULL, ...)

Arguments

tree	an object of class "phylo".
fsize	relative font size for tip labels.
ftype	font type - options are "reg", "i" (italics), "b" (bold), or "bi" (bold-italics).
lwd	line width for plotting.
split	relative vertical position for splitting the tree (between 0 & 1).
new.window	whether or not to plot the split tree in a new window. If FALSE then the tree will be plotted in two columns within the same plotting window.
splits	for plotTree.splits relative positions (from 0 to 1) to split the tree across pages or devices.
file	filename if saving to a PDF file is desired. Otherwise will plot to the default plotting device.
fn	function to be executed on each plotted page. For instance, might be: function() cladelabels() if clade labels are desired.
...	other arguments to be passed to plotTree.

Value
