I am using the C50 decision tree algorithm. I am able to build the tree and get the summaries, but cannot figure out how to plot or viz the tree.

My C50 model is called credit_model

In other decision tree packages, I usually use something like plot(credit_model). In rpart it is rpart.plot(credit_model).

What is the equivalent in the C50 algorithm to plot?

Right now, there are none built in. I've been working on an adapter for the partykit package (e.g. as.party) but have not gotten very far.
