_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Draws a "banner", i.e. basically a horizontal 'barplot'
     visualizing the (agglomerative or divisive) hierarchical
     clustering or an other binary dendrogram structure.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     bannerplot(x, w = rev(x$height), fromLeft = TRUE,
                main=NULL, sub=NULL, xlab = "Height",  adj = 0,
                col = c(2, 0), border = 0, axes = TRUE, frame.plot = axes,
                rev.xax = !fromLeft, xax.pretty = TRUE,
                labels = NULL, nmax.lab = 35, max.strlen = 5,
                yax.do = axes && length(x$order) <= nmax.lab,
                yaxRight = fromLeft, y.mar = 2.4 + max.strlen/2.5, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: a list with components 'order', 'order.lab' and 'height' when
          'w', the next argument is not specified.

       w: non-negative numeric vector of bar widths.

fromLeft: logical, indicating if the banner is from the left or not.

main,sub: main and sub titles, see 'title'.

    xlab: x axis label (with 'correct' default e.g. for 'plot.agnes').

     adj: passed to 'title(main,sub)' for string adjustment.

     col: vector of length 2, for two horizontal segments.

  border: color for bar border; now defaults to background (no border).

    axes: logical indicating if axes (and labels) should be drawn at
          all.

frame.plot: logical indicating the banner should be framed; mainly used
          when 'border = 0' (as per default).

 rev.xax: logical indicating if the x axis should be reversed (as in
          'plot.diana').

xax.pretty: logical or integer indicating if 'pretty()' should be used
          for the x axis. 'xax.pretty = FALSE' is mainly for back
          compatibility.

  labels: labels to use on y-axis; the default is constructed from 'x'.

nmax.lab: integer indicating the number of labels which is considered
          too large for single-name labelling the banner plot.

max.strlen: positive integer giving the length to which strings are
          truncated in banner plot labeling.

  yax.do: logical indicating if a y axis and banner labels should be
          drawn.

yaxRight: logical indicating if the y axis is on the right or left.

   y.mar: positive number specifying the margin width to use when
          banners are labeled (along a y-axis).  The default adapts to
          the string width and optimally would also dependend on the
          font.

     ...: graphical parameters (see 'par') may also be supplied as
          arguments to this function.

_N_o_t_e:

     This is mainly a utility called from 'plot.agnes', 'plot.diana'
     and 'plot.mona'.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

     Martin Maechler (from original code of Kaufman and Rousseeuw).

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     data(agriculture)
     bannerplot(agnes(agriculture), main = "Bannerplot")
