  The help file should be helpful. Also, it will contain references to the literature.

  I think there has been a substantial misunderstanding here. The clustering plot is intended only to be used with correlation networks with our intended as a kind of "descriptive precursor" before using one of the other types of networks. I am optimistic that perhaps some of these resources might be helpful.

  The latter might be available open access through your institutional library

  
  

  if you really do just want to understand this plot this is the paper you need to read

  I hope I haven't misunderstood you, and that this helps!-

  Thanks for the great resources. I think I understand a little better now. Thanks again.
