clustermap {iL04}R Documentation

Plot a clustering-based partitioning on a topographic map

Description

Hierarchical clustering is used to derive a partitioning, which is used to plot a coloured topographic map.

Usage

clustermap(coo, dst, method = "ward", k = 2, col = rainbow(k),
           labels = "dots", cex = 1, seq = 25:1, bwlim = .55, map = NULL,
           xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, ...)

Arguments

coo a dataframe with x- and y-coordinates of locations stored in the first two columns, and names of locations stored as rownames.
dst a dissimilarity structure as produced by the dist function, with names stored in the attribute "Labels".
method any of the methods to the hclust function.
k desired number of groups.
col a vector of size k, with colours for each cluster.
labels what to use as labels. This is either a word: one of "none" (no labels), "names" (use rownames of argument coo), or "dots" (use dots); or a vector of labels ordered in accordance with the data in argument coo.
cex the size of the labels relative to the default text size.
seq a sequence of decreasing sizes of the area to fill around each location, relative to the default text size.
bwlim a value between 0 and 1, determining the point to switch between white labels and black labels, relative to the background colour interpreted as a grey value between 0 and 1.
map an optional two-column matrix with a set of line segments, used to draw a map. See lines for the use of NA values.
xlab a title for the x axis.
ylab a title for the y axis.
... further arguments to the plot function.

Value

None.
