# Bio::TreeIO::cluster(3pm)

A TreeIO driver module for parsing Algorithm::Cluster::treecluster() output

## NAME

Bio::TreeIO::cluster - A TreeIO driver module for parsing Algorithm::Cluster::treecluster() output

## SYNOPSIS

```
  # do not use this module directly
  use Bio::TreeIO;
  use Algorithm::Cluster;
  my ($result, $linkdist) = Algorithm::Cluster::treecluster(
    distances => $matrix
  );
  my $treeio = Bio::TreeIO->new(
    -format   => 'cluster',
    -result   =>  $result,
    -linkdist =>  $linkdist,
    -labels   =>  $labels
  );
  my $tree = $treeio->next_tree;
```

## DESCRIPTION

This is a driver module for parsing **Algorithm::Cluster::treecluster()** output.
