Vegemite Function is Cowardly refusing

R version 3.2.2.

I was to look at community tables from my dendrograms and am trying out the
vegemite command.  This is the error I get:

Error in vegemite(apst, apst.clusters) :
  Cowardly refusing to use longer than 1 char symbols:
Use scale

I thought the problem was that I was using the log transformed data, but I
tried it on the raw (which is single digit numbers), and still no luck.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I imagined that the error message is clear: vegemite only uses one-character
symbols (because the result is so compact). The example data you had with
this message had numbers up to 55 -- and that is a two-digit number. The
message also suggest that you use 'scale' which is an argument of 
vegemite() to transform numbers to one-charactar symbols. You can also
transform your data to to one-digit width yourself, and vegemite() will be 
happy.
