This is not a bug in R, hence please do not post it to R-bugs, R-devel would have been much more appropriate. You will get contact information of the maintainer by typing, e.g.: library(help=gplots) Uwe Ligges > The preliminary documentation for heatmap.2 is inconsistent in at least a > couple > of places when discussing the suppression of one or more dendrograms (and > column/row ordering in general). > In the Details section, in regards to the Rowv and Colv parameters, "If either > is NULL, no reordering will be done for the corresponding side."
