I have a distance object
x <- matrix(rnorm(100), nrow=5)
d<-dist(x,diag=TRUE,upper=TRUE)
1 2 3 4 5
1 0.000000 7.683422 8.210562 6.522327 6.091876
2 7.683422 0.000000 8.296771 6.641323 8.088297
3 8.210562 8.296771 0.000000 7.229307 6.133479
4 6.522327 6.641323 7.229307 0.000000 5.668197
5 6.091876 8.088297 6.133479 5.668197 0.000000
I want to create a heat map of only part of the distance matrix so I convert it to a matrix and subsection it i.e.
dm<-as.matrix(d)
dm[1:2,4:5]
4 5
1 6.522327 6.091876
2 6.641323 8.088297
I now want to convert it back to a distance object so I can apply the following function to create a heat map. Any advice on how to either 1) convert the matrix back into a distance object so the function can handle it OR 2) adjust the function so that it create the heat.map without needing D to be a heat map. Thanks.

# Usage:
# coldiss(D = dissimilarity.matrix, nc = 4, byrank = TRUE, diag = FALSE)
# If D is not a dissimilarity matrix (max > 1), then D is divided by max(D)
# Example:
# coldiss(spe.dj, nc=9, byrank=F, diag=T)
# byrank= TRUE equal-sized categories
# byrank= FALSE equal-length intervals
