| as.phylo {ape} | R Documentation |
as.phylo is a generic function which converts an object into a
tree of class "phylo". There are currently two methods for this
generic for objects of class "hclust" and of class
"phylog" (implemented in the package ade4).
as.hclust.phylo is a method of the generic
as.hclust which converts an object of class
"phylo" into one of class "hclust". This can used to
convert an object of class "phylo" into one of class
"dendrogram" (see examples).
