[R] help on drawing a tree with "ape"?

[Hua Li]

Dear Simon and everyone,

Thanks for response. 

Specifically, I have a tree with species "A, B, C" and
can be written as
"((A:45.15,C:45.15):46.19,B:91.34):0.0;" . If I use
the R command


> mytreeABC

[1] "((A:45.15,C:45.15):46.19,B:91.34):0.0;"

>     plot(read.tree(text = mytreeABC))

I would get a tree as shown in "Rresult.ps" file.
However, I would like the tree to show like in
"treeABC.jpg" file.

In case the r-hlep list do not allow attachment, here
is what Rresult.ps look like:

|-------------B
|
|
|      |------C
|------|
       |------A

for the tree I want (in treeABC.jpg), I would mark the
edge AC as "b", and the edge AB as "a". 


Thank you very much for help!
