The SAHN clustering module generates a dendrogram, which is a hierarchical classification just as the scaffold tree. However, both are treated as distinct concepts. Unifying this would, for example, allow the following:
- generate a tree map view based on a dendrogram.
- cluster the molecules in the heatmap view according to the scaffold tree.
- linking the scaffold tree to the table view; this is currently supported for the dendrogram view only.
does it make sense to use the radial tree layout for the dendrogram? The binary nature of the dendrogram seems a bit problematic for distributing the subtrees equally.
