What ComplexHeatmap can do for you

Make Complex Heatmaps

Complex heatmaps are efficient to visualize associations between different
sources of data sets and reveal potential patterns. Here the
ComplexHeatmap package provides a highly flexible way to arrange multiple
heatmaps and supports various annotation graphics.

The InteractiveComplexHeatmap package can directly export static complex heatmaps into an interactive Shiny app. Have a try!

Install

ComplexHeatmap is available on Bioconductor, you can install it by:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("ComplexHeatmap")

If you want the latest version, install it directly from GitHub:

library(devtools)
install_github("jokergoo/ComplexHeatmap")

Usage

Make a single heatmap:

Heatmap(mat, ...)

A single Heatmap with column annotations:

ha = HeatmapAnnotation(df = anno1, anno_fun = anno2, ...)
Heatmap(mat, ..., top_annotation = ha)

Make a list of heatmaps:

Heatmap(mat1, ...) + Heatmap(mat2, ...)

Make a list of heatmaps and row annotations:

ha = HeatmapAnnotation(df = anno1, anno_fun = anno2, ..., which = "row")
Heatmap(mat1, ...) + Heatmap(mat2, ...) + ha
