[R] community finding in a graph and heatplot

The problem is that your graph is unconnected, it has two components
and the as.dendrogram() function in igraph cannot handle that.
fastgreedy.community() returns a matrix of merges that is not a
complete dendrogram, the final top level merge of the components is
missing.

A workaround is to modify the result of fastgreedy.community and add
the missing row to the merges matrix, before calling as.dendrogram().

Interestingly I have just ran into a trouble with the stament dend <- igraph:::as.dendrogram.igraph.walktrap(fc). Apparently the members are empty as when I print(dend) it says 'dendrogram' with 2 branches and  members total, at height 93" while the error with using dend with dendrapply remians to be

But I am "greedy" to plot the heat map and dendrrogram based on the $merges dendogram matrix. I know that heatplot does the graphics part but I am not sure if the dendogram generated by the heatplot will match the one given by fastgreedy.community in all cases and that the heat map will represent the same clustering.
