skbio.tree.TreeNode.tip_tip_distances¶

TreeNode.tip_tip_distances(endpoints=None)[source]¶

Returns distance matrix between pairs of tips, and a tip order.

By default, all pairwise distances are calculated in the tree. If endpoints are specified, then only the distances between those tips are computed.

Parameters:	endpoints : list of TreeNode or str, or None A list of TreeNode objects or names of TreeNode objects
Returns:	DistanceMatrix The distance matrix
Raises:	ValueError If any of the specified endpoints are not tips NoLengthError If a node without length is encountered
