The option \code{tol} is used as follows: first the most distant tip
from the root is found, then all tips whose distance to the root is
- not more different from the previous one than \code{tol} are
- considered to be contemporaneous with it.
+ not different from the previous one than \code{tol} are considered to

If the tree is not ultrametric, the plot is done assuming the tips,
except the most distant from the root, represent extinction events. If
\code{"phylo"} (single trees) and/or \code{"multiPhylo"} (multiple
trees). Any number of objects may be given. This function is mainly
for exploratory analyses with the advantages that the axes are set
- properly to view all lines, and the legend is plotted by default. For
- more flexible settings of line drawings, it may be better to combine

\code{ltt.plot()} with successive calls of \code{ltt.lines()} (see
examples).
