There's the dendrogram class in R, -- ?dendrogram, which

both regression/classification trees and hierarchical cluster
dendrograms to be represented.  It's not just for binary trees,
and definitely much nicer to use than a vector simulation
version.

(well, it may be worth your time to learn something about rpart
 anyway; but you won't want to use it's representation of trees,
 I think)

RE: [R] tree class in R?

2004-12-05 Thread Mulholland, Tom
Have you had a look at the rpart package? If you haven't installed it it may be 
worth doing so. Then you can type

require(rpart)
?rpart.object

Do a search of the r-help archives.  There was binary tree code posted
within the last year.
