Draw a Heat Map

Description

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.

Usage

Arguments

x numeric matrix of the values to be plotted.
Rowv determines if and how the row dendrogram should be reordered. By default, it is TRUE, which implies dendrogram is computed and reordered based on row means. If NULL or FALSE, then no dendrogram is computed and no reordering is done. If a dendrogram, then it is used "as-is", ie without any reordering. If a vector of integers, then dendrogram is computed and reordered based on the order of the vector.
Colv determines if and how the column dendrogram should be reordered. Has the options as the Rowv argument above and additionally when x is a square matrix, Colv = "Rowv" means that columns should be treated identically to the rows.
distfun function used to compute the distance (dissimilarity) between both rows and columns. Defaults to dist.
hclustfun function used to compute the hierarchical clustering when Rowv or Colv are not dendrograms. Defaults to hclust.
dendrogram character string indicating whether to draw 'none', 'row', 'column' or 'both' dendrograms. Defaults to 'both'. However, if Rowv (or Colv) is FALSE or NULL and dendrogram is 'both', then a warning is issued and Rowv (or Colv) arguments are honoured.
symm logical indicating if x should be treated symmetrically; can only be true when x is a square matrix.
scale character indicating if the values should be centered and scaled in either the row direction or the column direction, or none. The default is "row" if symm false, and "none" otherwise.
na.rm logical indicating whether NA's should be removed.
revC logical indicating if the column order should be reversed for plotting, such that e.g., for the symmetric case, the symmetry axis is as usual.
add.expr expression that will be evaluated after the call to image. Can be used to add components to the plot.
breaks (optional) Either a numeric vector indicating the splitting points for binning x into colors, or a integer number of break points to be used, in which case the break points will be spaced equally between min(x) and max(x).
col colors used for the image. Defaults to heat colors (heat.colors).
colsep, rowsep, sepcolor (optional) vector of integers indicating which columns or rows should be separated from the preceding columns or rows by a narrow space of color sepcolor.
sepwidth (optional) Vector of length 2 giving the width (colsep) or height (rowsep) the separator box drawn by colsep and rowsep as a function of the width (colsep) or height (rowsep) of a cell. Defaults to c(0.05, 0.05)
cellnote (optional) matrix of character strings which will be placed within each color cell, e.g. p-value symbols.
notecex (optional) numeric scaling factor for cellnote items.
notecol (optional) character string specifying the color for cellnote text. Defaults to "green".
na.color Color to use for missing value (NA). Defaults to the plot background color.
trace character string indicating whether a solid "trace" line should be drawn across 'row's or down 'column's, 'both' or 'none'. The distance of the line from the center of each color-cell is proportional to the size of the measurement. Defaults to 'column'.
tracecol character string giving the color for "trace" line. Defaults to "cyan".
hline, vline, linecol Vector of values within cells where a horizontal or vertical dotted line should be drawn. The color of the line is controlled by linecol. Horizontal lines are only plotted if trace is 'row' or 'both'. Vertical lines are only drawn if trace 'column' or 'both'. hline and vline default to the median of the breaks, linecol defaults to the value of tracecol.
margins numeric vector of length 2 containing the margins (see par(mar= *)) for column and row names, respectively.
ColSideColors (optional) character vector of length ncol(x) containing the color names for a horizontal side bar that may be used to annotate the columns of x.
RowSideColors (optional) character vector of length nrow(x) containing the color names for a vertical side bar that may be used to annotate the rows of x.
cexRow, cexCol positive numbers, used as cex.axis in for the row or column axis labeling. The defaults currently only use number of rows or columns, respectively.
labRow, labCol character vectors with row and column labels to use; these default to rownames(x) or colnames(x), respectively.
key logical indicating whether a color-key should be shown.
keysize numeric value indicating the size of the key
density.info character string indicating whether to superimpose a 'histogram', a 'density' plot, or no plot ('none') on the color-key.
denscol character string giving the color for the density display specified by density.info, defaults to the same value as tracecol.
symkey Boolean indicating whether the color key should be made symmetric about 0. Defaults to TRUE.
densadj Numeric scaling value for tuning the kernel width when a density plot is drawn on the color key. (See the adjust parameter for the density function for details.) Defaults to 0.25.
main, xlab, ylab main, x- and y-axis titles; defaults to none.
lmat, lhei, lwid visual layout: position matrix, column height, column width. See below for details
... additional arguments passed on to image

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))) 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" the rows 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, http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html#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 dendogram, bottom left is the row dendogram, 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.

Value

Invisibly, a list with components

rowInd row index permutation vector as returned by order.dendrogram.
colInd column index permutation vector.

Note

The original rows and columns are reordered in any case to match the dendrogram, e.g., the rows by order.dendrogram(Rowv) where Rowv is the (possibly reorder()ed) row dendrogram.

heatmap.2() uses layout and draws the image in the lower right corner of a 2x2 layout. Consequentially, it can not be used in a multi column/row layout, i.e., when par(mfrow= *) or (mfcol= *) has been called.
