Hi Ivett.

x.lim & y.lim for type="fan" still work. In this case the standard dimensions are just +- the total tree length & space for labels, so you could try (for instance):

h<-max(nodeHeights(tree))
plot(tree,type="fan",no.margin=TRUE,x.lim=1.2*c(-h,h))

and then make further adjustments as necessary.

All the best, Liam

Hi,
thanks a lot for the answers.
I have a few additional information.
I use the type="fan" argument, so my tree is round-shaped, so I can not
exactly set the xlim and ylim...
I.e my tree is: plot.phylo(tree4, type = "fan", cex = 0.6, no.margin =
T, font = 1, use.edge.length = T,  label.offset = 0.15). I set the
margins like: par(mar=c(0,0,0,0),oma=c(0,0,0,0)), and I made a .tiff
image with tiff(filename="tree1.tif",width = 18.30, height = 18.30,
units = "cm", res=600)
I tried to do as the advice said but the species names are still not fit
in the picture. I there any arguments to set the size of the topology of
the tree? Or can I set the size of the tree?

PS: My problem with the two lines of symbols is solved, thanks.

Best wishes,
Ivett Pipoly

    Hi Ivett,

    Following Eliot's and Liam's replies, I wish to add a few points.

    plot(mytree, no.margin = TRUE) is the same than:

    par(mar = rep(0, 4))
    plot(mytree)

    So the margins are effectively removed and, logically, you cannot
    draw something in there.

    Liam pointed you in the right direction: you have to manage space
    around the tree by setting x.lim with one (more space on the right
    of the tree) or two (more space on both sides) values. Note this
    option (and y.lim too) manages space around the tree within the plot
    region, not in the marings.

    The x and y limits of the plot are indeed set by default but this is
    much less easy than it may seem. That's why it's always good to play
    with x.lim and/or y.lim (also label.offset) to see if the graph may
    look better. Besides, if one wants to add graphical elements, the
    correct values of these options cannot be found a priori; see
    example(phydataplot).

    The output depends also on the size of the graphical device you use.
    If you are making a figure with lots of elements, it may be worth
    writing it directly in PDF of sufficient size, eg:

    pdf("mytree.pdf", width = 30, heigth = 20)
    plot(mytree, ....
    tiplabels(....
    ....
    dev.off()

    To draw several series of symbols with tiplabels, you can play with
    the option 'adj': there is an example in example(nodelabels).

    HTH

            My first problem: I can not set the margins of the plot,
            because when
            I use

                the adequate label.offset value to fit the symbols
                between branches and
                names, the names of the species are not fit in the plot
                (the end of the
                names are disappear).


        Your plotting window should be automatically resized when you
        increase
        label.offset, although I'm not sure this is true for all versions of
        ape. Are you sure you are working with the latest version (i.e.,
        3.1-4)?

        You can also control the plotting dimensions manually. By
        default, the
        horizontal (x in a right or left-facing tree) is the total tree
        length +
        the label offset + the amount of space required to plot the tip
        labels;
        however this can be increased (or decreased) using the argument
        x.lim.
        This is also true of the phytools function plotTree, but in that
        case
        the analogous arguments are offset and xlim.

                My second problem: How can I locate the second set of
                symbols in the
                plot?
                For only one symbol-type, I used tiplabels(pch = , col =
                , cex = ).
                But if
                I woud like to put a second set of symbols, how should I
                put it next
                to the
                first set of the symbols?


        To get the x & y coordinates of a plotted tree created using
        plot.phylo
        or plotTree, we can steal from inside tiplabels:

        lastPP<-get("last_plot.phylo",__envir=.PlotPhyloEnv)
        x<-lastPP$xx[1:lastPP$Ntip]
        y<-lastPP$yy[1:lastPP$Ntip]

        Now, we can add points to our plot at coordinates x & y - and if
        we want
        to add two sets of points, we can offset the second set by adjusting
        slightly (for a right or left-facing tree) the x-coordinates.
        The order
        of x & y should be the order of bird.families$tip.label.
