+ digits = 10, tree.names = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{phy}{an object of class \code{"phylo"}.}
the file (if it exists) is overwritten (\code{FALSE} the default).}
\item{digits}{a numeric giving the number of digits used for printing
branch lengths.}
+ \item{tree.names}{either a logical or a vector of mode character. If

This function writes in a file a tree in parenthetic format using the

The node labels and the root edge length, if available, are written in
the file.
+
+ If \code{tree.names == TRUE} then a variant of the Newick format is
+ written for which the name of a tree precedes the Newick format tree
