gg_ordicluster: Add Dendrogram to Ordination Plot

In ggordiplots: Make 'ggplot2' Versions of Vegan's Ordiplots

Add Dendrogram to Ordination Plot

Description

Modeled after the ordicluster function in vegan, this function overlays an ordination object with a cluster dendogram. Functionality has been added to include treatment groups.

Usage

gg_ordicluster(
  ord,
  cluster,
  treatments = NA,
  choices = c(1, 2),
  prune = 0,
  col = 1,
  pt.size = 3,
  plot = TRUE
)

Arguments

ord	An ordination object.
cluster	A cluster object from 'hclust' based on the same distance as 'ord.'
treatments	A vector assigning treatments to samples.
choices	Ordination axes to be plotted.
prune	Number of upper level hierarchies removed from the dendrogram. If prune > 0, dendrogram will be disconnected.
col	A vector of cluster group memberships. Used to assign colors to line segments for each cluster group.
pt.size	Symbol size.
plot	A logical; defaults to TRUE.

Details

'treatments' should be a vector of class factor and length equal to the number of samples included in the ordination and cluster; integers are not coerced into factors.

Value

Invisibly returns a list of the data frames used to make the plot (df_ord, df_segments) and the plot itself (plot).
