reindex_clusters {SC3} | R Documentation

## Reindex cluster labels in ascending order

### Description

Given an `hclust` object and the number of clusters `k` this function reindex the clusters inferred by `cutree(hc, k)[hc$order]`, so that they appear in ascending order. This is particularly useful when plotting heatmaps in which the clusters should be numbered from left to right.

### Usage

    reindex_clusters(hc, k)

### Arguments

`hc` | an object of class hclust
`k` | number of cluster to be inferred from hc

### Examples

    hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests), 'ave')
    cutree(hc, 10)[hc$order]
    reindex_clusters(hc, 10)[hc$order]
