plot_matrix: Visualize a matrix with one or two-way color scale.

Description

Fast investigation of matrix objects; standard visualization choices are made automatically; fast and easy-to-use but does not necessarily provide optimal visualization.

Usage

plot_matrix(mat, type = "twoway", midpoint = 0, palette = NULL,
  colors = NULL, col.breaks = NULL, interval = 0.1, plot_axes = "both",
  row.tick = 1, col.tick = 1, cex.xlab = 0.9, cex.ylab = 0.9,
  xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, limit.trunc = 0, mar = c(5, 4, 4, 2), ...)

Arguments

mat
matrix
type
String. Specifies visualization type. Options: 'oneway' (color scale ranges from white to dark red; the color can be changed if needed); 'twoway' (color scale ranges from dark blue through white to dark red; colors can be changed if needed)
midpoint
middle point for the color plot: smaller values are shown with blue, larger are shown with red in type = 'twoway'
palette
Optional. Color palette.
colors
Optional. Colors.
col.breaks
breakpoints for the color palette
interval
interval for palette color switches
plot_axes
String. Indicates whether to plot x-axis ('x'), y-axis ('y'), or both ('both').
row.tick
interval for plotting row axis texts
col.tick
interval for plotting column axis texts
cex.xlab
use this to specify distinct font size for the x axis
cex.ylab
use this to specify distinct font size for the y axis
xlab
optional x axis labels
ylab
optional y axis labels
limit.trunc
color scale limit breakpoint
mar
image margins
...
optional parameters to be passed to function 'image', see help(image) for further details

Value

  • A list with the color palette (colors), color breakpoints (breaks), and palette function (palette.function)
