[R] How to highlight a group on a dendrogram

[Leandro Colli]

Hi, everyone,

     I am trying to highlight a group of samples at a cluster (dendogram).
I would like to do it setting a group name in bold (the group "Para").

     It is a large series, but I have a sampler above:
# Library

library(cluster)
library(png)

# Generating table1:

table1 <- (cbind(rbind("Para", "Tumor", "Normal", "Para", "Tumor",
 "Normal"), rbind(0.2, 6.4,2.3, 0.5, 1.5, 4.4), rbind(2.1, 2.14,1.0, 5.5,
0.3, 3.5), rbind(0.2, 1.4,2.2, 0.1, 1.9, 1.0),rbind(3.2, 6.4,2.3, 3.5,
10.5, 4.4), rbind(1.27, 0.9,1.7,1.2,1.5, 2.4) ))
names = as.matrix(table1[,1])
rownames(table1) <- names
table1 <- (table1[,2:6])
table1 = apply(table1, 1,as.numeric)

# Cluster and Plot

cluster = agnes(t(table1), metric = "manhattan", stand = T, method = "ward")
plot(cluster, main="", xlab="")

      I would like that the group "Para" at this plot appears on bold. Is
it possible using plot?

      Thank you very much, Leandro
