Hi, A two questions about heatmap.2 : What is the best approach to make the row labels readable? Right now they are merging. I plotted 104 genes. The command cexRow is not giving me the desired result, since the font size needs to be set extremly small to fit all in; so small that no one can read it!!! How can I switch off the dendogram drawing option? I like the dendogram to be computed and reordered based on row means, but I do not like it to be displayed! Many thanks for your help, Daniela [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

You may want to play with the 'height' parameter for improving. > How can I switch off the dendogram drawing option?
