heatmap.2

Enhanced Heat Map

A heat map is a false color image (basically image(t(x))) with a dendrogram added to the left side and/or to the top. Typically, reordering of the rows and columns according to some set of values (row or column means) within the restrictions imposed by the dendrogram is carried out. This heatmap provides a number of extensions to the standard R heatmap function.

Usage

heatmap.2 (x,
           # dendrogram control Rowv = TRUE, Colv=if(symm)"Rowv" else TRUE, distfun = dist, hclustfun = hclust, dendrogram = c("both","row","column","none"), reorderfun = function(d, w) reorder(d, w), symm = FALSE,
           # data scaling scale = c("none","row", "column"), na.rm=TRUE,
           # image plot revC = identical(Colv, "Rowv"), add.expr,
           # mapping data to colors breaks, symbreaks=any(x < 0, na.rm=TRUE) || scale!="none",
           # colors col="heat.colors",
           # block sepration colsep, rowsep, sepcolor="white", sepwidth=c(0.05,0.05),
           # cell labeling cellnote, notecex=1.0, notecol="cyan", na.color=par("bg"),
           # level trace trace=c("column","row","both","none"), tracecol="cyan", hline=median(breaks), vline=median(breaks), linecol=tracecol,
           # Row/Column Labeling margins = c(5, 5), ColSideColors, RowSideColors, cexRow = 0.2 + 1/log10(nr), cexCol = 0.2 + 1/log10(nc), labRow = NULL, labCol = NULL, srtRow = NULL, srtCol = NULL, adjRow = c(0,NA), adjCol = c(NA,0), offsetRow = 0.5, offsetCol = 0.5, colRow = NULL, colCol = NULL,
           # color key + density info key = TRUE, keysize = 1.5, density.info=c("histogram","density","none"), denscol=tracecol, symkey = any(x < 0, na.rm=TRUE) || symbreaks, densadj = 0.25, key.title = NULL, key.xlab = NULL, key.ylab = NULL, key.xtickfun = NULL, key.ytickfun = NULL, key.par=list(),
           # plot labels main = NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL,
           # plot layout lmat = NULL, lhei = NULL, lwid = NULL,
           # extras extrafun=NULL, ... )

Details

If either Rowv or Colv are dendrograms they are honored (and not reordered). Otherwise, dendrograms are computed as dd <- as.dendrogram(hclustfun(distfun(x)))<="" code=""> where X is either x or t(x).
If either is a vector (of “weights”) then the appropriate dendrogram is reordered according to the supplied values subject to the constraints imposed by the dendrogram, by reorder(dd, Rowv), in the row case. If either is missing, as by default, then the ordering of the corresponding dendrogram is by the mean value of the rows/columns, i.e., in the case of rows, Rowv <- rowmeans(x,="" na.rm="na.rm). If either is NULL, no reordering will be done for the corresponding side.
If scale="row" (or scale="col") the rows (columns) are scaled to have mean zero and standard deviation one. There is some empirical evidence from genomic plotting that this is useful.
The default colors range from red to white (heat.colors) and are not pretty. Consider using enhancements such as the RColorBrewer package, https://cran.r-project.org/package=RColorBrewer to select better colors.
By default four components will be displayed in the plot. At the top left is the color key, top right is the column dendrogram, bottom left is the row dendrogram, bottom right is the image plot. When RowSideColor or ColSideColor are provided, an additional row or column is inserted in the appropriate location. This layout can be overriden by specifiying appropriate values for lmat, lwid, and lhei. lmat controls the relative postition of each element, while lwid controls the column width, and lhei controls the row height. See the help page for layout for details on how to use these arguments.

Note

The original rows and columns are reordered to match the dendrograms Rowv and Colv (if present). heatmap.2() uses layout to arragent the plot elements. Consequentially, it can not be used in a multi column/row layout using layout(...), par(mfrow=...) or (mfcol=...).
