NAME

Bio::Tree::Tree - An Implementation of TreeI interface.

SYNOPSIS

     # like from a TreeIO
     my $treeio = Bio::TreeIO->new(-format => 'newick', -file => 'treefile.dnd');
     my $tree = $treeio->next_tree;
     my @nodes = $tree->get_nodes;
     my $root = $tree->get_root_node;
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This object holds handles to Nodes which make up a tree.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

  Title   : new
  Usage   : my $obj = Bio::Tree::Tree->new();
  Function: Builds a new Bio::Tree::Tree object 
  Returns : Bio::Tree::Tree
  Args    : -root     => L<Bio::Tree::NodeI> object which is the root
              OR
            -node     => L<Bio::Tree::NodeI> object from which the root will be
                         determined
 
            -nodelete => boolean, whether or not to try and cleanup all
                                  the nodes when this this tree goes out
                                  of scope.
            -id       => optional tree ID
            -score    => optional tree score value
 
 

nodelete

  Title   : nodelete
  Usage   : $obj->nodelete($newval)
  Function: Get/Set Boolean whether or not to delete the underlying
            nodes when it goes out of scope.  By default this is false
            meaning trees are cleaned up.
  Returns : boolean
  Args    : on set, new boolean value
 
 

get_nodes

  Title   : get_nodes
  Usage   : my @nodes = $tree->get_nodes()
  Function: Return list of Bio::Tree::NodeI objects
  Returns : array of Bio::Tree::NodeI objects
  Args    : (named values) hash with one value 
            order => 'b|breadth' first order or 'd|depth' first order
 
 

get_root_node

  Title   : get_root_node
  Usage   : my $node = $tree->get_root_node();
  Function: Get the Top Node in the tree, in this implementation
            Trees only have one top node.
  Returns : Bio::Tree::NodeI object
  Args    : none
 
 

set_root_node

  Title   : set_root_node
  Usage   : $tree->set_root_node($node)
  Function: Set the Root Node for the Tree
  Returns : Bio::Tree::NodeI
  Args    : Bio::Tree::NodeI
 
 

total_branch_length

  Title   : total_branch_length
  Usage   : my $size = $tree->total_branch_length
  Function: Returns the sum of the length of all branches
  Returns : real
  Args    : none
 
 

subtree_length

  Title   : subtree_length
  Usage   : my $subtree_size = $tree->subtree_length($internal_node)
  Function: Returns the sum of the length of all branches in a subtree
            under the node. Calculates the size of the whole tree
            without an argument (but only if root node is defined)
  Returns : real or undef
  Args    : Bio::Tree::NodeI object, defaults to the root node
 
 

id

  Title   : id
  Usage   : my $id = $tree->id();
  Function: An id value for the tree
  Returns : scalar
  Args    : [optional] new value to set
 
 

score

  Title   : score
  Usage   : $obj->score($newval)
  Function: Sets the associated score with this tree
            This is a generic slot which is probably best used 
            for log likelihood or other overall tree score
  Returns : value of score
  Args    : newvalue (optional)
 
 

height

  Title   : height
  Usage   : my $height = $tree->height
  Function: Gets the height of tree - this LOG_2($number_nodes)
            WARNING: this is only true for strict binary trees.  The TreeIO
            system is capable of building non-binary trees, for which this
            method will currently return an incorrect value!!
  Returns : integer
  Args    : none
 
 

number_nodes

  Title   : number_nodes
  Usage   : my $size = $tree->number_nodes
  Function: Returns the number of nodes in the tree
  Returns : integer
  Args    : none
 
 

Methods for associating Tag/Values with a Tree

These methods associate tag/value pairs with a Tree

  Returns : number of values stored for this tag
  Args    : $tag   - tag name
            $value - value to store for the tag
 
 

add_tag_value
