dendextend

I want to modify the properties of the leaves in a dendrogram produced from plot of an hclust object. Minimally, I want to change the colors, but any help you can provide will be appreciated. I did try to google the answer, but but every solution that I saw seemed alot harder than what I would have guessed. A while ago, Joris Meys kindly provided me with this snippet of code that changes the color of leaves. Modify it to reflect your attributes. clusDendro <- as.dendrogram(Clustering) labelColors <- c("red", "blue", "darkgreen", "darkgrey", "purple") ## function to get colorlabels colLab <-

I have produced a dendrogram after running hierarchical clustering analysis in R using the below code. I am now trying to colour the labels according to another factor variable, which is saved as a vector. The closest that I have come to achieving this is to colour code the branches using the ColourDendrogram function in the sparcl package. If possible, I would prefer to colour-code the labels. I have found answers to a similar questions at the following links Color branches of dendrogram using an existing column & Colouring branches in a dendrogram in R , but I have not been able to work out

I would like to create a dendrogram in R which has colored branches, like the one shown below. So far I used following commands to create a standard dendrogram: d <- dist(as.matrix(data[,29])) # find distance matrix hc <- hclust(d) # apply hirarchical clustering plot(hc,labels=data[,1], main="", xlab="") # plot the dendrogram How should I modify this code to obtain desired result ? Thanks in advance for your help. You could use the dendextend package, aimed for tasks such as this: # install the package: if (!require('dendextend')) install.packages('dendextend'); library('dendextend') ##
