Hi Oscar.
You need to first use paintSubTree to 'paint' each of the clades you
want to label with a different state.
e.g.:
tree<-paintSubTree(tree,node=104,state="Asterid_1")
tree<-paintSubTree(tree,node=191,state="Asterid_2")
and so on.
Then you should be able to use the method="plotSimmap" and colors
arguments to color each subclade differently with plotTree.wBars.
If you need a function to find the common ancestor (parent node) of each
subclade, you can use the function ape::getMRCA or phytools::findMRCA.
Let me know if you need more help. Liam

Hi everyone
I am trying to paint different clades in a tree with a set of values on
the tips. I used the function plotTree.wBars to plot and color the bars,
and used node labels to define important clades in my study. However,
for publication, the reviewers want me to remove the labels and use
colors instead to separate clades. However, I still could not figure out
how to do this from the plotTree.wBars function (tried the
method="plotSimmap", but I get an error
Error in plotSimmap(tree, type = "fan", ftype = if (tip.labels) "i" else
"off")
Attached an example of the tree I submitted so far. Any advice will be
greatly appreciated.

Hi Katharine.
You can try to search my blog for examples of the function
add.simmap.legend. That might do what you want.
All the best, Liam

Hi,
I am trying to visualize a few different character traits on a
tree using
phytools. My tiplabels are colored by sampling location and I'd
like to add
alongside the tree a color bar that represents values of a discrete
character trait (bacterial serotypes) for each tip sample. There
is a nice
explanation for how to do this for a continuous trait (

and I'm wondering a way to visualize a discrete trait instead.
Thank you for your help!
