Dear All According to the identify.hclust documentation the function "cuts the tree at the vertical position of the pointer and highlights the cluster containing the horizontal position of the pointer".
When I carry out this, the tree isn't cut where I click - in fact, there seems to be a limit below which I cannot go. Consider the following code: mat <- matrix(rnorm(5000), ncol=5) hc <- hclust(dist(mat)) plot(hc) identify(hc) No matter where I click on the tree, I cannot cut below around about 5. I can cut above that value, but not below. Any help is much appreciated. > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United Kingdom.1252 LC_CTYPE=English_United Kingdom.1252 LC_MONETARY=English_United Kingdom.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United Kingdom.1252 attached base packages: [1] grid stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] geneplotter_1.34.0 lattice_0.20-6 annotate_1.34.1 AnnotationDbi_1.18.1 Biobase_2.16.0 BiocGenerics_0.2.0 BiocInstaller_1.4.7 gplots_2.11.0 MASS_7.3-18 [10] KernSmooth_2.23-7 caTools_1.13 bitops_1.0-4.1 gdata_2.11.0 gtools_2.7.0 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] DBI_0.2-5 IRanges_1.14.4 RColorBrewer_1.0-5 RSQLite_0.11.1 stats4_2.15.1 tools_2.15.1 XML_3.9-4.1 xtable_1.7-0 Thanks Mick -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
