Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

Convenient wrapper for hierarchical clustering spatial coordinates.

1	hclustDist(xy, method = "ward.D", dS = NULL)

`xy`	A numeric array of spatial coordinates.
`method`	A character string specifying the hierarchical clustering method to be passed to stats::hclust.
`dS`	An optional numeric value specifying the denominator to be used in down-scaling each value of input xy.

hclustDist returns results from hierarchical clustering using the stats::hclust() function.

Returns an object of class *hclust*, see stats::hclust.

xy <- data.frame(x=c(0, 0, 2, 3),               # Some example coordinates
                 y=c(0, 1, 4, 5))
rownames(xy) <- LETTERS[1:4]                    # Set names of coord points
fit <- hclustDist(xy)

# Plot
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(xy, pch='')
text(xy, labels=rownames(xy))
