Hi again,

Have you also tried cex.lab? And values <0.8, maybe 0.5 or even 0.3?

Output as Pdf/Ps shouldn't be a problem, or is it?

I cannot help you more without a reproducible example (read the posting guide, it's linked at the bottom of every email from the list), though even with it, I'm not sure I would be able to help you (but others would!)

HTH,
Ivan

PS: for more answers, don't write offlist!

I have tried it but it didn't work! It doesn't decrease the label size 
significantly when I put

Cex=0.8 as an argument for plot()

I am hoping to export the output to pdf/ps format for visualisation as they 
allow zooming in and out!

I am really stuck! :(

Thanks!

Subject: Re: [R] Overlap of leaf labels

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.
HTH,
Ivan

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
