Method Details [hide private]

__init__(self, branch_length=None, name=None, clades=None, confidence=None)
(Constructor)

source code 

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

Parameters:
  • branch_length (str) - The length of the branch leading to the root node of this clade.
  • name (str) - The clade's name (a label).
  • clades (list) - Sub-trees rooted directly under this tree's root.
Overrides: object.__init__
(inherited documentation)

__nonzero__(self)
(Boolean test operator)

source code 

Boolean value of an instance of this class.

NB: If this method is not defined, but __len__ is, then the object is considered true if the result of __len__() is nonzero. We want Clade instances to always be considered true.

__str__(self)
(Informal representation operator)

source code 

Show this object's constructor with its primitive arguments.

Overrides: object.__str__
(inherited documentation)

Property Details [hide private]

root

Allow TreeMixin methods to traverse clades properly.

Get Method:
unreachable.root(self) - Allow TreeMixin methods to traverse clades properly.
