Details
If if trait is a factor then each level of the factor is plotted with the corresponding col.names value (if length(num.breaks) > length(col.names) colors are recycled.) If trait is not a factor then it is assumed to be continuous and trait is evenly divided into num.breaks levels.
Value
The command is invoked for its side effect, a plot of the phylo with tips colored based on trait
