Users have a consistent Tree API

  • [ ] Handle linkage matrices (#346)
  • [ ] Have an equals method (#465)
  • [ ] Consistent handling of missing data (#791)
  • [ ] Tree operations shouldn't care where they are (#807)
  • [ ] Think about taxonomy representations

Potentially use NetworkX internally.

Past discussion available at (#218)

What would the scope of this be? I'm not too familiar with NetworkX. It looks like it's mostly used to represent graph objects, right? Is there a way to only use NetworkX's node implementation as the backend for TreeNode and leave the interface the same, or am I completely missing the point?

I've got a use-case that requires a networkx representation of the TreeNode object. Can submit pull request shortly
