plot.mona: Banner of Monothetic Divisive Hierarchical Clusterings

Description

Creates the banner of a mona object.

Usage

plot.mona(x, main = paste("Banner of ", deparse(attr(x, "Call"))),
          col = 2, axes = TRUE, adj = 0,
          nmax.lab = 35, max.strlen = 5, ...)

Arguments

x

an object of class "mona", typically created by mona(.).

main

main title for the plot, with a convenient default. See documentation for main in plot.default.

nmax.lab

integer indicating the number of labels which is considered too large for labeling.

max.strlen

positive integer giving the length to which strings are truncated in labeling.

axes

logical, indicating if (labeled) axes should be drawn.

col,adj,...

graphical parameters (see par) may also be supplied as arguments to this function.

Side Effects

A banner is plotted on the current graphics device.

Details

Plots the separation step at which clusters are splitted. The observations are given in the order found by the mona algorithm, the numbers in the step vector are represented as bars between the observations.

When a long bar is drawn between two observations, those observations have the same value for each variable. See chapter 7 of Kaufman and Rousseeuw (1990).
