[R] plotting dendrograms from cluster analyses

Exact. I've looked in Splus and found the nice subtree command. In R v.
1.3.0 and all packages installed, I've found only snip.rpart for rpart
trees. Thus it seems a subtree function should be a good addition to R. I am
doing a package in which this could be added (for a very preliminary
version, in French, look at http://www.sciviews.org/_passtec), though it is
not a top priority for me now. If someone else want to do it, just notify
me... otherwise, I'll do it in a few months.

Best regards,

Philippe Grosjean
