addTip: Add a new tip to a phylogenetic tree

In DomBennett/MoreTreeTools: Tools for manipulating phylogenetic trees

Description

A new tip is added to an existing phylogenetic tree by specifying an edge/branch in the tree, name of the new tip and ages of the new tip and node.

Usage

addTip(tree, edge, tip.name, node.age, tip.age = 0, node.label)

Arguments

tree	phylogenetic tree (ape class)
edge	tree branch where tip will be added
tip.name	name for the new tip to be added
node.age	age of the new node to be created
tip.age	age of the new tip to be added (default 0)
node.label	label for the new

Details

Return a tree with an extra tip. The new tip is created by finding the edge in the tree, adding a new node at node.age and then by adding a new branch to tip.age. The function is modified code from multi2di from ape. N.B. ape uses node.label to label all internal nodes, MoreTreeTools uses it to labels all nodes including tip nodes.
