tree: a tree of class phylo or phylo4. The tree should be binary and rooted; if not it will be coerced into a binary rooted tree using multi2di, if possible.
nodeList: a list of one or more internal nodes in the tree.
showNodeLabels: option of whether to show node labels. Default is "nodeList", which only labels the nodes in nodeList. Choosing showNodeLabels="all" will display all node labels; any other arguments will remove all node labels.
mainCol: colour for the edges which are not highlighted (default is black).
subtreeCol: colour for the edges which are highlighted (default is red).
nodeLabelCol: background colour for any node labels shown (default is light blue)
...: further arguments to be passed to plot.phylo
Returns
A plot of the tree, with clade(s) descending from the given node(s) highlighted.
Examples
## Highlight the clade(s) descending from nodes 23 and 35 in a random tree on 20 tips:tree <- rtree(20)subtreeShow(tree, nodeList=c(23,35))# change aesthetics:subtreeShow(tree,nodeList=c(23,35), mainCol="navy", subtreeCol="cyan", nodeLabelCol="cyan", edge.width=2)
