I got an offlist response saying my advice was not correct, not surprising in the absence of a reproducible example on which to test. Looking at the help page, which seems the sensible place for anyone to start, we see that the second plotting example for dendrograms uses lab.cex and it need to be in a list offered to nodePar.

plot(dend1, nodePar = list(lab.cex = 0.3))

So I think my advice was correct up to the wider interpretation of "... or some such."

Hi,
I think that one of the cex arguments in par() can be what you're looking for. But since I've never plotted any dendrogram, I don't know which one, if any.

?par

Appears that the first effort should be to use cex.lab = 0.3 or some such.

Hi,

I have tried looking at the archives but havent found any answer that works
till now (Sorry if i have missed anything)


I am a newbie to R and i am trying to carry out hierarchical clustering using hclust -> as.dendrogram and then plotting the results as a dendrogram
using the plot function plot(object).

My question is :

In the function "plot", can one decrease the leaf label size to make them readable and clear? I am including over 380 proteins in my dendrogram
and each leaf has a label which are currently overlapping and not
decipherable?


Thanks


Ayesha
