Apply a Function to All Nodes of a Dendrogram
Description
Apply function FUN to each node of a dendrogram
recursively. When y <- dendrapply(x, fn), then y is a
dendrogram of the same graph structure as x and for each node,
y.node[j] <- FUN( x.node[j], ...) (where y.node[j] is an
(invalid!) notation for the j-th node of y.
Usage
dendrapply(X, FUN, ...)
Arguments
X |
an object of class |
FUN |
an R function to be applied to each dendrogram node,
typically working on its |
... |
potential further arguments passed to |
Value
Usually a dendrogram of the same (graph) structure as X.
For that, the function must be conceptually of the form
FUN <- function(X) { attributes(X) <- .....; X },
i.e. returning the node with some attributes added or changed.
Note
this is still somewhat experimental, and suggestions for enhancements (or nice examples of usage) are very welcome.

a function to each component of a list, rapply
for doing so to each non-list component of a nested list.
Examples
require(graphics)
## a smallish simple dendrogram
dhc <- as.dendrogram(hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests), "ave"))
(dhc21 <- dhc[[2]][[1]])
## too simple:
dendrapply(dhc21, function(n) utils::str(attributes(n)))
## toy example to set colored leaf labels :
local({
colLab <<- function(n) {
if(is.leaf(n)) {
a <- attributes(n)
i <<- i+1
attr(n, "nodePar") <-
c(a$nodePar, list(lab.col = mycols[i], lab.font= i%%3))
}
n
}
mycols <- grDevices::rainbow(attr(dhc21,"members"))
i <- 0
})
dL <- dendrapply(dhc21, colLab)
op <- par(mfrow=2:1)
plot(dhc21)
plot(dL) ## --> colored labels!
par(op)
