Overlap of leaf labels

I have tried it but it didn't work! It doesn't decrease the label size significantly when I put

Cex=0.8 as an argument for plot()

I am hoping to export the output to pdf/ps format for visualisation as they allow zooming in and out!

I am really stuck! :(

Thanks!

Hi,
I think that one of the cex arguments in par() can be what you're
looking for. But since I've never plotted any dendrogram, I don't know
which one, if any.
HTH,

Hi,

I have tried looking at the archives but havent found any answer that works
till now (Sorry if i have missed anything)


I am a newbie to R and i am trying to carry out hierarchical clustering
using hclust ->   as.dendrogram and then plotting the results as a dendrogram
using the plot function plot(object).

My question is :

In the function "plot", can one decrease the leaf label size to make them
readable and clear? I am including over 380 proteins in my dendrogram
and each leaf has a label which are currently overlapping and not
decipherable?


Thanks


Ayesha
