Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if someone could tell me how to access the coordinates of the 
tips on a phylogenetic tree. I'd like to be able to draw lines from the tips to 
say the tips of another tree, or to points on a map, etc.

If you generate a random tree

library(phytools)
tree <- pbtree(n=20)

is there an easy way to do it? I think you can get the length from the base of 
the tree to each tip using

nodeHeights(tree)

but I can't figure out how to get the other dimension (i.e., the spread of the 
tips).

Thanks for any help!

Vincenzo
