Generate denogram given a file containing N d-dimensional vectors #1

Hi thanks for the great work!

I am wondering if there are docs about how to use the tool to actually do HAC with a file of vectors, instead of benchmarking. What are the expected input data format and what would be the output?

Thanks again!

Hi Frank,

I create a version of the code in the "dendrogram" branch that can output the dendrogram to a file.

the input file format is just a file of points. Each line has the coordinates of a point. e.g.

1.2 2.3 3.4 5.6 .....

the output is the same as the scipy dendrogram output: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9838861/scipy-linkage-format

to output the dendrogram, you should add flag: -dendro [/name-of-output-file]

currently this does not work with flag "-matrixrange" and "-matrix".

Please let me know if you have more questions, thanks!
