After I have updated to R version 3.6.1 (and updated all the packages), I can't use hang parameter with plot.dendrogram anymore:

data(mtcars)
hc <- hclust(dist(mtcars))
plot(hc) # works as expected

den <- as.dendrogram(hc)
plot(den) # it works
plot(den, hang=0.01) # gives bunch of warnings:
# Warning messages:
# 1: In plot.window(...) : "hang" is not a graphical parameter
# 2: In plot.xy(xy, type, ...) : "hang" is not a graphical parameter
# 3: In axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...) :
#   "hang" is not a graphical parameter
# 4: In axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...) :
#   "hang" is not a graphical parameter
# 5: In title(...) : "hang" is not a graphical parameter

Any tips for what is wrong there?

hang= is an argument of as.dendogram, not of plot.*

hc <- hclust(dist(mtcars[1:10,]))

op <- par(mfrow=c(1, 2))
plot(as.dendrogram(hc, hang=.01))
plot(as.dendrogram(hc))
par(op)
