But the dist object is not structured with rows and columns. i.e. x=1:4
d=dist(x) 1 2 3 2 1 3 2 1 4 3 2 1 str(d) Class 'dist' atomic [1:6] 1 2 3 1 2 1 ..- attr(*, "Size")= int 4 ..- attr(*, "Diag")= logi FALSE ..- attr(*, "Upper")= logi FALSE ..- attr(*, "method")= chr "euclidean" ..- attr(*, "call")= language dist(x = x) So, AFAIK if you want to get references for rows and columns you need to make it an object that indeed has rows and columns, i.e. a matrix. See ?which to obtain the reference you want in a matrix.
