Hi all,

I came across this interesting website, with an idea of a way to visualize a clustering algorithm called "Clustergram":

I am not sure how useful this really is, but in order to play with it I would like to reproduce it with R, but am not sure how to go about doing it.

How would you create a line for each item so it would stay consistent throughout the different number of clusters?

Here is an example code/data to play with for potential answer:

hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests), "ave")
plot(hc)
