# Example for using the assignment with dendrogram and hclust objects:
hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests[1:3, ]), "ave")
dend <- as.dendrogram(hc)

labels(hc) # "Arizona" "Alabama" "Alaska"
labels(hc) <- letters[1:3]
labels(hc) # "a" "b" "c"
labels(dend) # "Arizona" "Alabama" "Alaska"
labels(dend) <- letters[1:3]
labels(dend) # "a" "b" "c"
suppressWarnings(labels(dend) <- LETTERS[1:2]) # will produce a warning
labels(dend) # "A" "B" "A"
labels(dend) <- LETTERS[4:6] # will replace the labels correctly
# (the fact the tree had duplicate labels will not cause a problem)
labels(dend) # "D" "E" "F"
