splitplotTree

Plots a phylogeny in two columns

Function plots a tree in two columns or windows.

splitplotTree(tree, fsize=1.0, ftype="reg", lwd=2, split=NULL, new.window=FALSE)
plotTree.splits(tree, splits=NULL, file=NULL, fn=NULL, ...)

`tree`	an object of class "phylo".
`fsize`	relative font size for tip labels.
`ftype`	font type - options are `"reg"`, `"i"` (italics), `"b"` (bold), or `"bi"` (bold-italics).
`lwd`	line width for plotting.
`split`	relative vertical position for splitting the tree (between 0 & 1).
`new.window`	whether or not to plot the split tree in a new window. If `FALSE` then the tree will be plotted in two columns within the same plotting window.
`splits`	for `plotTree.splits` relative positions (from 0 to 1) to split the tree across pages or devices.
`file`	filename if saving to a PDF file is desired. Otherwise will plot to the default plotting device.
`fn`	function to be executed on each plotted page. For instance, might be: `function()` `cladelabels()` if clade labels are desired.
`...`	other arguments to be passed to `plotTree`.

Plots a tree.
