getAge: Get age of node or edge
In DomBennett/MoreTreeTools: Tools for manipulating phylogenetic trees

Description Usage Arguments Details References Examples

Return data.frame of age of tip, internal node or age range of an edge (so long as the tree provided is time calibrated with branch lengths).

1	getAge(tree, node = "all", edge = NULL)

`tree`	phylogenetic tree (ape class)
`node`	number(s) indicating node(s) (default 'all')
`edge`	number(s) indicating edge(s) (default NULL)

First calculates the root to tip distance, then calculates node age by subtracting this distance from the root to node distance. If tree provided is not ultrametric, root to tip distance is the distance from the root to the most distal tip. If edge provided returns the max and min age of each node of edge. If node equals 'all', will return a dataframe for all nodes.
