\title{Pairwise Distances from a Phylogenetic Tree}
\usage{
\method{cophenetic}{phylo}(x)
dist.nodes(x)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{an object of class \code{"phylo"}.}
}
\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}).
