Dear fellow phylo-R users,

I am trying to colour tree (terminal and non terminal) branches in the same 
colour as the tip of said branch.


To illustrate, see the code below, which is almost doing what I want. You can 
see that only colouring a specific tip, which is called A in this example, is 
no problem.


However, I cannot colour the branches leading up to tip "A" in red with this 
code. I tried using tree$edge, but this is not working the way I thought.


Does anyone know how to colour all the branches leading up to tip "A" in red?


tree<-pbtree(n=10)
tree$tip.label<-c("A","B","Q","M","C","D","F","X","Z","W")
color<-rep("black",length(tree$tip.label))
color[which(tree$tip.label=="A")]<-"red"
edgecolor<-rep("black",length(tree$edge))
edgecolor[which(tree$tip.label=="A")]<-"red"


Thanks a lot for any help.


Best regards


G
