Label and color leaf dendrogram (phylogeny) in R using ape package

Question

Following a previous post (Label and color leaf dendrogram in r) I have a follow-up question.

My questions are similar to the post mentioned but I wonder can it be done

Answer 1

Have a look at ?"plot.phylo":

library("ape")
plot(as.phylo(hc), tip.color=colorCodes[substr(rownames(sample), 1, 1)], type="fan")
