Even 'hackier' solution to offsetting the tip labels in a plotted fan-style tree

In the not too distant past I posted a 'hack' to offset the tip labels of a fan-style tree plotted with phytools.

Unfortunately, this hack won't work for some functions that use plotTree(...,type="fan") internally, such as plotTree.wBars. This becomes important when one, say, wants to include (say) node labels on a plotted tree with bars.

Here's an even 'hackier' hack that does. I'm going to use a tree of Anolis lizards along with some real data for SVL (body size).

Here goes:

## first load libraries
library(phytools)
## this will be our tree
data(anoletree)
## I'm going to use this later
ecomorph<-as.factor(getStates(anoletree,"tips"))
## convert my "simmap" object to a regular old tree
tree<-as.phylo(anoletree)
## plus make sure the tips are in 'cladewise' order
tree<-untangle(tree,'read.tree')
## get our data
X<-read.csv(file="http://www.phytools.org/Cali2017/data/anole.data.csv",
    header=TRUE,row.names=1)
svl<-setNames(X[,"SVL"],rownames(X))
## fix the names
names(svl)<-paste("Anolis",names(svl),sep="_")
## sort into the order of the tip labels & back transform to original scale 
## (for fun)
svl<-exp(svl[tree$tip.label])
## now identify the tip labels on each side of our fan!
ii<-c(1:floor(0.25*Ntip(tree)),
    ceiling(0.75*Ntip(tree)):Ntip(tree))
jj<-setdiff(1:Ntip(tree),ii)
hack<-tree
hack$tip.label[ii]<-paste("  ",tree$tip.label[ii],sep="")
hack$tip.label[jj]<-paste(tree$tip.label[jj],"  ",sep="")
SCALE<-0.02 ## for later
plotTree.wBars(hack,setNames(svl,hack$tip.label),
    type="fan",tip.label=T,fsize=0.6,scale=SCALE,col="blue",
    width=0.5,lwd=1)
## now our labels!
mtrees<-make.simmap(tree,ecomorph,model="ER",nsim=100)

## make.simmap is sampling character histories conditioned on the transition matrix

## Done.

obj<-summary(mtrees)
library(RColorBrewer)
cols<-setNames(brewer.pal(length(levels(ecomorph)),"Accent"),
    levels(ecomorph))
nodelabels(pie=obj$ace,piecol=cols,cex=0.4)
tiplabels(pie=to.matrix(ecomorph,levels(ecomorph)),
    piecol=cols,cex=0.3)
## simmap legend?
x<-0.9*par()$usr[1]
y<-0.9*par()$usr[3]
add.simmap.legend(colors=cols,prompt=FALSE,vertical=FALSE,
    x=x,y=y,shape="circle",fsize=0.8)
## add scale bar?
