\name{ltt.plot}
\alias{ltt.plot}
\title{Lineages Through Time Plot}
\usage{
ltt.plot(phy, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{phy}{an object of class \code{"phylo"}.}
\item{...}{further arguments to be passed to \code{plot()} (see
\code{Details:} on how to transform the axes).}
}
\description{
This function plots, on the current graphical device, the minimum
numbers of lineages through time from a phylogenetic tree.
}
\details{
The \eqn{y}-axis can be log-transformed by adding the following
option: \code{log = "y"}.
