\usage{
labels(object, ...) <- value

\method{labels}{default}(object, ...) <- value

\method{labels}{dendrogram}(object, ...) <- value

\method{labels}{hclust}(object, order = TRUE, ...)

\method{labels}{hclust}(object, ...) <- value

\method{labels}{phylo}(object, ...)

\method{labels}{phylo}(object, ...) <- value
}
\arguments{
\item{object}{a variable name (possibly quoted) who's label are to be updated}

\item{...}{parameters passed (not currently in use)}

\item{value}{a value to be assigned to object's label}

\item{order}{default is FALSE. Only relevant for extracting labels from an
\link{hclust} object (with labels.hclust). Setting order=TRUE will return
labels in their order in the dendrogram, instead of the riginal labels order
retained from object$labels - which ususally corresponding to 
the row or column names of the \link{dist} object provided to
the \link{hclust} function.}
}
\value{
The updated object

# 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"
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"
