My biologist colleague has asked if I could turn our cluster plot upside down, so that the leaves are at the top. I cannot see any simple way to do that - the options are leaves at the bottom or leaves at the right. Is there some way to re-orient the tree? I have already exported these data to PHYLIP, so if there is a way to do it in PHYLIP, that would also be useful information. Thanks, Naomi Naomi S.

Others will know better. Off the top of my head, I'd guess you can use grid to rotate just about anything.

Thanks, Andy, but I don't think this is what I need. I have never used grid, but the documentation says that it is used to add grid lines to a plot. What I have is a cluster diagram which I want to flip. I cannot simply use "flip" in a draw routine, because then the leaf labels will be upside down. --Naomi At 12:46 PM 3/3/2005, Liaw, Andy wrote: >Others will know better.
