I think are looking for the function 'cutree' from package mva

checkout its documentation:

> require(mva)

pleanty of examples to do what you want.

Hi R lovers!

I am using the agnes function of the package cluster to compute a
hierarchical clustering.
I'd like to know if somebody has ever developped a function which could
give the names/label of the individuals merged together with respect to the
number of cluster the user eventually wants to keep.
Namely, If I have the dendogram and I choose to cut it to get , say 5
cluster, how can I get the names of the individuals in each of the 5
clusters?

I am looking for an algorithm that could do that.
I have tried to find one using the $merge component of the agnes.object or
the $order.lab component but with no result.

If by chance it exists already...
Thank you very much.
