[BioC] heatmap_plus and distances

[Aedin Culhane]

Hi John
The function heaplot in the made4 package will do this for you.  We also 
added additional functionality to the function in the new release of 
made4. If you provide heatplot with a character vector representing 
grouping in your samples, it will add a colour bar beneath the 
dendrogram so you can easily see if your samples cluster.  The function 
pretty.dend is an extension to this and will add multiple colour bars 
for each of your sample covariates.
Regards
Aedin
