+ggplot2.  The ggplot2 philosophy is to clearly separate data from the
+presentation.  Unfortunately the plot method for dendrograms plots directly
+to a plot device with out exposing the data.  The ggdendro package resolves
+this by making available functions that extract the dendrogram plot data.
+The package provides implementations for tree, rpart, as well as diana and
+agnes cluster diagrams.")
