No. It *sounds* like you don't have distance matrices but data frames of distances, because this is the error message that you get. The default plot of a data frame is a pairs() plot of all columns (variables) against each other. You will have a data frame if you read in your distances from an external file (or changed them into data frame). Try changing your data sets into regular R dist objects, and plot these against each other (and as.dist really seems to work to data frames directly): plot(as.dist(d1), as.dist(d2)) This was only guessing, since the message did not contain sufficient information. cheers, jari oksanen ______________________________________________ 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.
