Co-phylogenetic plot for trees with no edge lengths

The phytools function plot.cophylo will no plot an object of class "cophylo" containing trees without edge lengths (upon user request).

Here's what I mean:

library(devtools)
install_github("liamrevell/phytools")

Now try it….

library(phytools)
t1<-rtree(n=26,tip.label=LETTERS,br=NULL)
t2<-rtree(n=26,tip.label=LETTERS,br=NULL)
obj<-cophylo(t1,t2)
## Rotating nodes to optimize matching...
## Done.
plot(obj)

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-2

This was super easy. I just plugged the line:

if(is.null(tree$edge.length)) tree<-compute.brlen(tree)

into the internally used plotting function, phylogram, and that was all there was too it.
