This is the main function for pedigree plotting, with many options for controlling the appearance of pedigree symbols, labels and marker genotypes. Most of the work is done by the plotting functionality in the 'kinship2' package.
These functions require MERLIN to be installed and correctly pointed to in the PATH environment variable. The required input files are automatically created (in the working directory) and deleted afterwards. The MERLIN command is executed via a call to system().
The function IBDestimate estimates IBD coefficients (k0, k1, k2) for specified pairs of pedigree members, using maximum likelihood methods (imported from the maxLik package).
