Description

Given an ultametric phylogeny and locality data for each of its tips, this function constructs a three-dimensional vector map that can be displayed in GIS applications on raster surfaces or topological maps (e.g. via the NVIZ model in GRASS GIS).

Usage

1
geophylo(phy, file = "", loc, z_exag = 1000)

Arguments

phy

An object of class phylo, must be ultrametric.

file

A character string giving the filename; if file = "", the file is written on the standard output connection (i.e. the console).

loc

A matrix with locality data for the tips of the phylogeny; rows are assumed to correspond to tips as numbered in objects of class phylo; the first column must contain longitudinal values, the second column latitudinal values.

z_exag

Integer; used for superelevation of the internal nodes.

Value

none; a vector map in ASCII format in printed to the given directory
