Hi all,
I am using R to plot a dendrogram of a hierarchial clustering.
I have realised a hierarchical clustering of ~3000 elements. The plot of the corresponding tree is obviously super messy. These 3000 elements are clustered in 20 groups using the cutree function. What I want is to plot the tree by cluster (i.e. truncated at the nodes where each cluster originate labeled appropriately by cluster => a tree with 20 terminal leaves).
Thanks

collapse_branch() in the package dendextend should do what you're looking for. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/dendextend/vignettes/introduction.html
Also take a look at the part about using dynamicTreeCut() and removing the labels, while printing a color bar. That might look nicer than cutting off all of the leaves.
