write.nexus {ape} | R Documentation |
This function writes trees in a file with the NEXUS format.
write.nexus(..., file = "", translate = TRUE, original.data = TRUE)
... |
either (i) a single object of class "phylo" , (ii) a
series of such objects separated by commas, or (iii) a list
containing such objects. |
file |
a file name specified by either a variable of mode character,
or a double-quoted string; if file = "" (the default) then the
tree is written on the standard output connection. |
translate |
a logical, if TRUE (the default) a translation
of the tip labels is done which are replaced in the parenthetic
representation with tokens. |
original.data |
a logical, if TRUE (the default) the
data in the original NEXUS file are eventually written in
"file" (see below). |
If original.data = TRUE
, the file as specified by the attribute
"origin"
of the first tree is read and its data (except the
trees) are written in file
.
If several trees are given, they must have all the same tip labels.
If among the objects given some are not trees of class "phylo"
,
they are simply skipped and no t written to the file.
None (invisible `NULL').
