\title{Function to convert a table with speciation and extinction events to a
phylogeny}
\usage{
L2phylo(L, dropextinct = T)
}
\arguments{
\item{L}{Matrix of events as produced by dd_sim: \cr \cr - the first column
is the time at which a species is born in Mya\cr - the second column is the
label of the parent of the species; positive and negative values indicate
whether the species belongs to the left or right crown lineage \cr - the
third column is the label of the daughter species itself; positive and
negative values indicate whether the species belongs to the left or right
crown lineage \cr - the fourth column is the time of extinction of the
species; if the fourth element equals -1, then the species is still extant.}

\item{dropextinct}{Sets whether the phylogeny should drop species that are
extinct at the present}
}
\value{
\item{ phy }{ A phylogeny of the phylo type }
}
