Frederico,
This is not exactly what you're after, but perhaps it will help. In this
example I fit a cluster analysis to the data, then I "cut the tree" at
a
height of 3 (you would do this with your data at a height of 40). It's
not a perfect solution, but it might be good enough, depending on the
spatial distribution of your points.
# example data frame with x and y (on the same scale)
df <- data.frame(x = rnorm(100), y = rnorm(100))
# cluster analysis
tree <- hclust(dist(df[, c("x", "y")],
method="euclidean"),
method="complete")
# define groups as those that are at least 3 units apart
df$group <- cutree(tree, h=3)
# plot the data, using color and symbol to identify group membership
eqscplot(df$x, df$y, col=df$group, pch=df$group)
