write.simmap: Write a stochastic character mapped tree to file

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

Write a stochastic character mapped tree to file

Description

Writes one or multiple stochastic character mapped trees to file in several formats (following Bollback, 2006).

Usage

write.simmap(tree, file=NULL, append=FALSE, map.order=NULL, quiet=FALSE, 
    format="phylip", version=1.0)

Arguments

tree	an object of class "simmap" or "multiSimmap".
file	an optional filename.
append	a logical value indicating whether to append to file.
map.order	a optional value specifying whether to write the map in left-to-right or right-to-left order. Acceptable values are "left-to-right" or "right-to-left" or some abbreviation of either. If not provided, write.simmap will use attr(tree,"map.order") if available.
quiet	logical value indicating whether or not to print a warning message when map.order is neither specified by a function argument or as an attribute of tree.
format	file format for output.
version	version of SIMMAP. Note that the options are 1.0 and 1.5. version=1.5 is generally recommended because in this format the tree can also be parsed by typical tree readers, but absent its mapped trait.

Value

A file.
