R help - Jun 2004 - The beautifull way to plot a decision tree

Dearest,

I wanna plot a decision tree (from rpart/tree object) more beautifull and 
descriptive than the standard version (thinking about the tree plotted by SAS 
or SPSS Decision Tree).

Tips about? 
Are there plan to develop a plot function for that using "grid"
library?

Thanks.

Bye

You can configure quite a lot for rpart objects, see
?plot.rpart
?post.rpart
?text.rpart

There is the software Klimt for interactive stuff with R's trees by 
Simon Urbanek: http://stats.math.uni-augsburg.de/Klimt/intro.html
It also produces nice plots of tree/rpart objects.
