Dear all,
I was wondering whether (or better: how) I can use R to read recursively a
directory to get all the sub-folders and files located in the root folder and
put it into a tree like structure where the leaves are files and intermediate
nodes are the directories? The idea is that I'd like
A wild guess -- take a look at the CRAN phylohenetics task view, as
that sounds like the sort of thing that might have tree generation and
manipulation functions.
... but you may do better with some non-R tool out there.
(Hopefully, you'll get a better response, though).
Cheers,

On Thu,
One R package that might be of interest would be 'diagram':
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/diagram/
I would also agree with Bert here and would point you in the direction of
PSTricks, which can handle these sorts of complex figures. It would of course
require learning LaTeX, but that
perhaps as a somewhat tamer guess than Bert's, it's probably not
very hard to write a function that pieces together a dendrogram
(S3 class provided by the stats package), using the list.dirs and
list.files functions.
This could then be plotted via the plot function, and you could
even designate
5 matches
