[BioC] heatmaps and pearson correlation

I don't have the exact code to hand, but as I recall heatmap() either
takes data and does the clustering itself, or it takes two pre-computed
trees, as from the output of hclust().  Therefore, you need to do two
hclust() operations to produce two trees, and then pass those trees as
arguments to heatmap().

	Hello, 

	I'm trying to construct a heatmap by clustering two dimensions
(genes, treatments) using pearson correlation for both the distances (1
- correlation). Unfortinately the hclust and dist methods don't provide
the pearson as a metric for distances (is there any reason for this?).

	Has anyone a hint on how to make hclust and heatmap to cluster
both dimensions via pearson correlation? 

	        thanks a lot for help, 

	        Arne
