A dendrogram (or cluster layout) is a node-link diagram that places leaf nodes of the tree at the same depth. In this example, the classes (orange leaf nodes) are aligned on the right edge, with the packages (blue internal nodes) to the left. As with other tree layouts, dendrograms can also be oriented radially.
