## OCCURRENCE

### ARB_DIST/Detect clusters/Cluster groups

## DESCRIPTION

### Choose whether you like to create (or delete) groups for all 'listed clusters' or for the currently 'selected cluster' only.

### Specify the wanted identity between cluster and the subtree, where the group will be created. If you just calculated clusters (for the tree currently selected in the ARB_DIST main window) the identity will always be 100%. Specifying a lower identity value, allows to apply groups to a different tree.

### Click on 'create groups' to create groups for affected clusters.

### It might happen, that your tree already contains groups, where this function likes to insert new ones. In this case you can choose to either

- abort (the default)
- skip
- overwrite with generated name or
- overwrite and append original group name.

### You can specify a name prefix for the generated group names.

### The rest of the name is generated from the 'Name suffix' specification. This specification may contain normal text and the following codes:

    %p            position in upgroup (which don't start with cluster prefix)
    %P            position in upgroup
    %t            position in tree
    %d            mean distance of cluster
    %D            max allowed distance (as set in input field)
    %o            "..%_of" (only occurs when applying to different tree topology)
    %e            existing group-name
    %%            %

### Click on 'delete groups' to erase groups existing at cluster subtrees. You can select to remove all groups or only groups matching the name prefix.

## NOTES

### This function always affects the tree currently selected in the ARB_DIST main window.

## EXAMPLES

### None

## WARNINGS

### Be careful when using 'overwrite' without appending original names. It will destroy existing groups.

## BUGS

### No bugs known
