\title{Plot posterior density of stochastic mapping on a tree}
\usage{
densityMap(trees, res=100, fsize=NULL, ftype=NULL, lwd=3, check=FALSE,
   legend=NULL, outline=FALSE, type="phylogram", direction="rightwards",
   plot=TRUE, ...)
\method{plot}{densityMap}(x, ...)
}
\arguments{
 	\item{trees}{set of phylogenetic trees in a modified \code{"multiPhylo"} object. Values for a two-state discrete character are mapped on the tree. See \code{\link{make.simmap}} and \code{\link{read.simmap}} for details.}
	\item{res}{resolution for gradient plotting. Larger numbers indicate a finer (smoother) gradient.}
	\item{fsize}{relative font size - can be a vector with the second element giving the font size for the legend.}
	\item{ftype}{font type - see options in \code{\link{plotSimmap}}. As with \code{fsize}, can be a vector with the second element giving font type for the legend.}
	\item{lwd}{line width for branches. If a vector of two elements is supplied, the second element will be taken to be the desired width of the legend bar.}
	\item{check}{check to make sure that the topology and branch lengths of all phylogenies in \code{trees} are equal.}
	\item{legend}{if \code{FALSE} no legend is plotted; if a numeric value, it gives the length of the legend in units of branch length. Default is 0.5 times the total tree length.}
	\item{outline}{logical value indicating whether or not to outline the branches of the tree in black.}
	\item{type}{type of plot desired. Options are \code{"phylogram"} for a rightward square phylogram; and \code{"fan"} for a circular phylogram.}
	\item{plot}{logical value indicating whether or not to plot the tree. If \code{plot=FALSE} then an object of class \code{"densityMap"} will be returned without plotting.}
	\item{direction}{plotting direction for \code{type="phylogram"}.}
	\item{x}{for \code{plot.densityMap}, an object of class \code{"densityMap"}.}
	\item{...}{optional arguments for \code{plot.densityMap}. These include all the arguments of \code{densityMap} except \code{trees} and \code{res}. Additional optional arguments include \code{mar} (margins), \code{offset} (tip label offset), and \code{hold} (whether or not to use \code{dev.hold} to hold output to graphical device before plotting; defaults to \code{hold=TRUE}). Also, the argument \code{states} can be used to 'order' the states on the probability axis (that is, which state should correspond to a posterior probability of 0 or 1). Some other plotting arguments, such as \code{xlim} and \code{ylim}, may also work.}

\description{
	Function plots a tree with the posterior density for a mapped character from stochastic character mapping on the tree. Since the mapped value is the probability of being in state "1", only binary [0,1] characters are allowed.
}
\value{
	Plots a tree and returns an object of class \code{"densityMap"} invisibly.
