Hello, I am working with the phylo object from the ape package in my own package in which I am manipulating the trees. I would like to check that I have successfully created a valid ape object, but the `checkValidPhylo` function appears to be solely interactive — it prints out a display, and always returns NULL.
Is there a function in the ape package (or can there be?) that would do the checks, but return the results in a way that I can then process in my function? (e.g. return a vector of each of the checks as TRUE/FALSE) And I don’t want anything printed out, since I don’t want that output to be printed for users of my function). I see the package `paleotree` has ported some of those checks into a test, so I’m guessing such a function doesn’t exist in ape — and I don’t really want a dependency on another package just for these checks. Thanks, Elizabeth Purdom _______________________________________________ R-sig-phylo mailing list - R-sig-phylo@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-phylo Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/r-sig-phylo@r-project.org/
