circlize_dendrogram: Plot a circlized dendrograms

Description

Plot a circlized dendrograms using the circlize package (must be installed for the function to work).

This type of plot is also sometimes called fan tree plot (although the name fan-plot is also used for a different plot in time series analysis), radial tree plot, polar tree plot, circular tree plot, and probably other names as well.

An advantage for using the circlize package directly is for plotting a circular dendrogram so that you can add more graphics for the elements in the tree just by adding more tracks using circos.track.

Usage

circlize_dendrogram(
  dend,
  facing = c("outside", "inside"),
  labels = TRUE,
  labels_track_height = 0.1,
  dend_track_height = 0.5,
  ...
)

Value

The dend that was used for plotting.

Arguments

dend: a dendrogram object
facing: Is the dendromgrams facing inside to the circle or outside.
labels: logical (TRUE) - should the labels be plotted as well.
labels_track_height: a value for adjusting the room for the labels. It is 0.2 by default, but if NULL or NA, it will adjust automatically based on the max width of the labels. However, if this is too long, the plot will give an error: Error in check.track.position(track.index, track.start, track.height) : not enough space for cells at track index '2'.
dend_track_height: a value for adjusting the room for the dendrogram.
...: Ignored.
