Dendrogram is the visual representation of arrangement of the clusters. Learn how to create dendrogram in a few steps.

A dendrogram looks like a tree chart. It is composed of an X-Y axis and several clusters. The vertical axis is labelled distance and refers to the distance between clusters. The horizontal axis represents the numbers of objects.

Steps to Create Dendrogram

Step 1: Download dendrogram template and open it.

Step 3: Edit the Clusters

All the clusters can be edited on the length, position, etc. You can use the clusters on the template. You can also drag new cluster from the Connector library in Edraw.
