skbio.tree.TreeNode.unrooted_copy¶
- TreeNode.unrooted_copy(parent=None)[source]¶
Walk the tree unrooted-style and returns a copy.
Perform a copy of self and return a new copy of the tree as an unrooted copy. This is useful for defining new roots of the tree as the TreeNode.
This method is recursive.
Warning, this is _NOT_ a deepcopy
- Parameters:
- parentTreeNode or None
Used to avoid infinite loops when performing the unrooted traverse
- Returns:
- TreeNode
A new copy of the tree
