how to export a hierarchical clustering model to a XML file

Philtian

I want to export a hierarchical clustering model created by top down operator to a XML or text file, so I can parse it. But it seems neither write model operator works. Anyone has any advice on how to realize that?

Try the "Write" operator. This operator can write all objects to XML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
