[R] How to draw the decision boundaries for LDA and Rpart object

[Am Stat]

Dr. Ripley,

Thanks very much for your help. I have used your partition tree and it works 
well.  I am not familiar with the 'tree' package but I found that the 
threshold to make a cut  returned by tree and rpart is almost the same 
value.

Does that mean the decision boundaries for Rpart and Tree are the same for a 
same data when using the default  value of parameters, no matter what the 
structure of data  is?

Thanks very much!

Leon
