R help - Nov 2006 - silhouette plot colors from trimkmeans solution

I was trying to create a multi-color silhouette plot (each cluster a different
color) from clusters created by trimkmeans. This works straighforwardly on an
object created from pam however my colors are interwoven when I try the same
approach on clusters from trimkmeans. I also tried sorting the silhouette object
using sortSilhouette which did not solve the problem. If anyone has a
suggestion, please let me know. I'm using R 2.4.0 on an XP based PC.
  Thanks very much,

Dear Joe,

I'd try to think it over if you sent me a reproducible example, i.e., 
example data, and code showing what you did with the pam output (how you'd
like to
have it) and with the trimkmeans output (which should be improved).

Best,
Christian
