Basic bind.tree.simmap in phytools

Contrary to prior statements, I have now pushed bind.tree.simmap (from yesterday's blog post) into phytools on GitHub (1, 2).

So, for instance, given two trees with mapped discrete characters of class "simmap":

library(phytools)
t1

## 
## Phylogenetic tree with 10 tips and 9 internal nodes.
## 
## Tip labels:
##  t9, t1, t5, t2, t3, t4, ...
## 
## The tree includes a mapped, 2-state discrete character with states:
##  a, b
## 
## Rooted; includes branch lengths.

t2

## 
## Phylogenetic tree with 6 tips and 5 internal nodes.
## 
## Tip labels:
## [1] "B" "E" "F" "D" "C" "A"
## 
## The tree includes a mapped, 2-state discrete character with states:
##  a, b
## 
## Rooted; includes branch lengths.

par(mfcol=c(1,2))
plot(t1,lwd=3)

## no colors provided. using the following legend:
##       a       b 
## "black"   "red"

nodelabels()
plot(t2,lwd=3)

## no colors provided. using the following legend:
##       a       b 
## "black"   "red"

nodelabels()

we can bind t1 onto t2 as follows:

t3<-bind.tree.simmap(t2,t1,where=which(t2$tip.label=="E"))
plot(t3,lwd=3)

## no colors provided. using the following legend:
##       a       b 
## "black"   "red"

or, of course, we can bind t2 to t1, for instance:

t4<-bind.tree.simmap(t1,t2,where=12)
plot(t4,lwd=3)

## no colors provided. using the following legend:
##       a       b 
## "black"   "red"

As of yet there are no features to add along an edge or with a root edge, but at some point I'll figure that out too.

This version of phytools can be installed from GitHub as follows:

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