:Parameters:

branch_length : str
    The length of the branch leading to the root node of this clade.
name : str
    The clade's name (a label).
clades : list
    Sub-trees rooted directly under this tree's root.
confidence : number
    Support.
color : BranchColor

Functions

__bool__()

Boolean value of an instance of this class (True)

__getitem__()

Get clades by index (integer or slice)

__init__()

Define parameters for the Clade tree

__iter__()

Iterate through this tree’s direct descendent clades (sub-trees)

__len__()

Number of clades directy under the root

__str__()

Return name of the class instance

is_terminal()

True if this is a terminal (leaf) node

root()

Allow TreeMixin methods to traverse clades properly

Link to this function __bool__()

Boolean value of an instance of this class (True).

NB: If this method is not defined, but __len__ is, then the object is considered true if the result of __len__() is nonzero. We want Clade instances to always be considered True.
