VIPER: Visualization of Phylogenetics and Evolution with R

Provides a set of plotting functions that are developed around ape:plot.phylo, e.g.

1. coloring edges and tips
2. high-lighting clades in phylogenies
3. showing branch support
4. HPD intervals on internal nodes of dated phylogenies
5. plot axes

and more.

Some of these functions have been formerly included in the deprecated package phyloch.
