\title{Pairwise Distances from a Phylogenetic Tree}
\usage{
\method{cophenetic}{phylo}(x)
dist.nodes(x, fail.if.no.length = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{an object of class \code{"phylo"}.}
\item{fail.if.no.length}{a logical values. If the tree has no branch
lengths, these are all fixed to one (with a warning) so the
computation is done. If you prefer to catch the case of no branch
lengths with an error, set this option to \code{TRUE}.}
}
\description{
\code{cophenetic.phylo} computes the pairwise distances between the
pairs of tips from a phylogenetic tree using its branch lengths.
\code{dist.nodes} does the same but between all nodes, internal and
terminal, of the tree.
}
\value{
a numeric matrix with colnames and rownames set to the names of the
tips (as given by the element \code{tip.label} of the argument
\code{phy}), or, in the case of \code{dist.nodes}, the numbers of the
tips and the nodes (as given by the element \code{edge}).
