        overridden by the C{vertex_color} argument explicitly).

        This method understands all the positional and keyword arguments that
        are understood by L{Graph.__plot__()}, only the differences will be
        highlighted here:

          - C{mark_groups}: whether to highlight some of the vertex groups by
            colored polygons. Besides the values accepted by L{Graph.__plot__}
            (i.e., a dict mapping colors to vertex indices, a list containing
            lists of vertex indices, or C{False}), the following are also
            accepted:

              - C{True}: all the groups will be highlighted, the colors matching
                the corresponding color indices from the current palette
                (see the C{palette} keyword argument of L{Graph.__plot__}.

              - A dict mapping cluster indices or tuples of vertex indices to
                color names.  The given clusters or vertex groups will be
                highlighted by the given colors.

              - A list of cluster indices. This is equivalent to passing a
                dict mapping numeric color indices from the current palette
                to cluster indices; therefore, the cluster referred to by element
                I{i} of the list will be highlighted by color I{i} from the
                palette.

            The value of the C{plotting.mark_groups} configuration key is also
            taken into account here; if that configuration key is C{True} and
            C{mark_groups} is not given explicitly, it will automatically be set
            to C{True}.

            In place of lists of vertex indices, you may also use L{VertexSeq}
            instances.

            In place of color names, you may also use color indices into the
            current palette. C{None} as a color name will mean that the
            corresponding group is ignored.

          - C{palette}: the palette used to resolve numeric color indices to RGBA
            values. By default, this is an instance of L{ClusterColoringPalette}.

class Dendrogram(object):
    """The hierarchical clustering (dendrogram) of some dataset.

    A hierarchical clustering means that we know not only the way the
    elements are separated into groups, but also the exact history of
    how individual elements were joined into larger subgroups.

    This class internally represents the hierarchy by a matrix with n rows
    and 2 columns -- or more precisely, a list of lists of size 2. This is
    exactly the same as the original format used by C{igraph}'s C core.
    The M{i}th row of the matrix contains the indices of the two clusters
    being joined in time step M{i}. The joint group will be represented by
    the ID M{n+i}, with M{i} starting from one. The ID of the joint group
    will be referenced in the upcoming steps instead of any of its individual
    members. So, IDs less than or equal to M{n} (where M{n} is the number of
    rows in the matrix) mean the original members of the dataset (with ID
    from 0 to M{n}), while IDs up from M{n+1} mean joint groups. As an
    example, take a look at the dendrogram and the internal representation of
    a given clustering of five nodes::

class Cover(object):
    """Class representing a cover of an arbitrary ordered set.

    Covers are similar to clusterings, but each element of the set may
    belong to more than one cluster in a cover, and elements not belonging
    to any cluster are also allowed.

    L{Cover} instances provide a similar API as L{Clustering} instances;
    for instance, iterating over a L{Cover} will iterate over the clusters
    just like with a regular L{Clustering} instance. However, they are not
    derived from each other or from a common superclass, and there might
    be functions that exist only in one of them or the other.

    Clusters of an individual cover can be accessed by the C{[]} operator:

      >>> cl = Cover([[0,1,2,3], [2,3,4], [0,1,6]])
      >>> cl[0]
      [0, 1, 2, 3]

    The membership vector can be accessed by the C{membership} property.
    Note that contrary to L{Clustering} instances, the membership vector
    will contain lists that contain the cluster indices each item belongs
    to:

      >>> cl.membership
      [[0, 2], [0, 2], [0, 1], [0, 1], [1], [], [2]]

    The number of clusters can be retrieved by the C{len} function:

      >>> len(cl)
      3

    You can iterate over the cover as if it were a regular list of
    clusters:

      >>> for cluster in cl:
      ...     print " ".join(str(idx) for idx in cluster)
      ...
      0 1 2 3
      2 3 4
      0 1 6

    If you need all the clusters at once as lists, you can simply convert
    the cover to a list:

      >>> cluster_list = list(cl)
      >>> print cluster_list
      [[0, 1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4], [0, 1, 6]]

    L{Clustering} objects can readily be converted to L{Cover} objects
    using the constructor:

      >>> clustering = Clustering([0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2])
      >>> cover = Cover(clustering)
      >>> list(clustering) == list(cover)

        This is done by calling L{Graph.__plot__()} with the same arguments, but

        This method understands all the positional and keyword arguments that
        are understood by L{Graph.__plot__()}, only the differences will be

          - C{mark_groups}: whether to highlight the vertex clusters by
            colored polygons. Besides the values accepted by L{Graph.__plot__}

            lists of vertex indices, or C{False}), the following are also
            accepted:

              - C{True}: all the clusters will be highlighted, the colors matching
                the corresponding color indices from the current palette
                (see the C{palette} keyword argument of L{Graph.__plot__}.

              - A dict mapping cluster indices or tuples of vertex indices to
                color names.  The given clusters or vertex groups will be
                highlighted by the given colors.

              - A list of cluster indices. This is equivalent to passing a
                dict mapping numeric color indices from the current palette
                to cluster indices; therefore, the cluster referred to by element
                I{i} of the list will be highlighted by color I{i} from the
                palette.

            The value of the C{plotting.mark_groups} configuration key is also
            taken into account here; if that configuration key is C{True} and
            C{mark_groups} is not given explicitly, it will automatically be set
            to C{True}.

            In place of lists of vertex indices, you may also use L{VertexSeq}
            instances.

            In place of color names, you may also use color indices into the
            current palette. C{None} as a color name will mean that the
            corresponding group is ignored.

          - C{palette}: the palette used to resolve numeric color indices to RGBA

    The split-join distance is a distance measure defined on the space of
    partitions of a given set. It is the sum of the projection distance of
    one partition from the other and vice versa, where the projection
    number of A from B is if calculated as follows:

      1. For each set in A, find the set in B with which it has the
         maximal overlap, and take note of the size of the overlap.

      2. Take the sum of the maximal overlap sizes for each set in A.

      3. Subtract the sum from M{n}, the number of elements in the
         partition.

    Note that the projection distance is asymmetric, that's why it has to be
    calculated in both directions and then added together.  This function
    returns the projection distance of C{comm1} from C{comm2} and the
    projection distance of C{comm2} from C{comm1}, and returns them in a pair.
    The actual split-join distance is the sum of the two distances. The reason
    why it is presented this way is that one of the elements being zero then
    implies that one of the partitions is a subpartition of the other (and if
    it is close to zero, then one of the partitions is close to being a
    subpartition of the other).

    @param comm1: the first community structure as a membership list or
