Axis on Side of Phylogeny

Description

This function adds a scaled axis on the side of a phylogeny plot.

Usage

axisPhylo(side = 1, root.time = NULL, backward = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

`side`	a numeric value specifying the side where the axis is plotted: 1: below, 2: left, 3: above, 4: right.
`root.time`	the time assigned to the root node of the tree. By default, this is taken from the `root.time` element of the tree. If it is absent, this is determined from the next option.
`backward`	a logical value; if TRUE, the most distant tip from the root is considered as the origin of the time scale; if FALSE, this is the root node.
`...`	further arguments to be passed to `axis`.

Details

The further arguments (...) are used to format the axis. They may be font, cex, col, las, and so on (see the help pages on axis and par).
