flip function is a feature request from ggtree user. It accepts a tree view and two node numbers and exchange the positions of the selected clades.
1 2 3 4 5 | require(ggtree) set.seed(2015-07-01) tr <- rtree(30) p <- ggtree(tr) + geom_text(aes(label=node)) gridExtra::grid.arrange(p, flip(p, 38, 33), ncol=2) |
It's chainable and all possible position adjustment can be achieved via multiple flip operations.
1 | flip(p, 38, 33) %>% flip(53, 58) %>% flip(32, 51) |
It's tedious to rotate a clade by 180 degree with several flip operations, ggtree provides another function rotate that accepts a selected node and rotate that branch by 180 degree.
1 2 3 4 | col = c("black", "firebrick", "steelblue")[groupClade(tr, c(33, 52))]
gridExtra::grid.arrange(ggtree(tr, color=col),
ggtree(tr, color=col) %>% rotate(33) %>% rotate(52),
ncol=2) |
