  • Add node_type argument, which allows users to plot the heatmap with discs rather than squares. See also thepoint_size_mat` argument.
  • Add point_size_mat argument, which is mapped to point size when node_type="scatter". Also adds point_size_name argument, which is the name of this parameter in the heatmap hovertext.

BUGFIXES

• heatmaply
  • Fixed a bug where column/row annotation legend labels would overlap when only two levels were present.

NOTES

  • side_color_layers argument, which allows the user to pass in ggplot functions which will be added to the side color plots.
  • row_side_palette and col_side_palette can now be named vectors of colors.
  • Improved test coverage.
  • Side color plots have better defaults colors, courtesy of RColorBrewer’s qualitative color palettes.
  • file argument can now work with static file extensions such as png/jpeg/pdf (thanks to the webshot package). It is also now vectorized, allowing to pass things like: heatmaply(x, file = c(“heatmaply_plot.html”, “heatmaply_plot.png”))

heatmaply 0.10.1 (2017-05-27)

NEW FUNCTIONS

• cool_warm - a new divergent color pallette (from blue to red) based on Kenneth Moreland’s proposal in (Diverging color maps for scientific visualization.” Advances in Visual Computing (2009)), provided by the user YAK in (http://stackoverflow.com/a/44073011/256662), and which relies on code from the Rgnuplot package.

NEW FEATURES

• heatmaply
  • Add “auto” cellnote colouring, which predicts the luminosity of cells and switches between black and white text as appropriate, for readability
  • Add cellnote_textposition argument, which controls the justification of cellnote within a cell. See the plotly documentation for more details.
  • dendrogram parameter can now accept TRUE/FALSE as synonyms for “both”/“none”.
    • showticklabels = c(TRUE, TRUE) - a 2d parameter to allow turning off of tick labels in the rows/columns - thus making the rendering of the plot much faster for larger matrix.
• heatmaply_cor now uses cool_warm instead of RdBu.
• Added a warning for when not using the latest ggplot version.

BUG FIXES

• heatmaply
  • cellnote would previously not work with character matrices. This is now fixed.
  • heatmaply would formerly ignore colour functions when plot_method = “plotly”

heatmaply 0.9.2 (2017-05-05)

BUG FIXES

• heatmaply
  • Fix subplot_width/subplot_height

heatmaply 0.9.1 (2017-04-14)

This release adds unit testing and code coverage to the heatmaply package. Users should not be affected, but this will hopefully accelerate development and reduce the occurrence of bugs.

NEW FUNCTIONS

• heatmaply_na, heatmaply_cor - wrappers for heatmaply for exploring missing values patterns, and for correlation matrix.

NEW FEATURES

• heatmaply -
  • Use slightly more sensible default for heights (in line with widths in any case), and add subplot_widths and subplot_heights arguments for user customisation.
  • plot_method argument (“plotly” or “ggplot”) which controls the underlying plot method used for dendrograms and the main heatmap. Currently there is some disparity between the features available in both methods but it is hoped this can be addressed. plotly will likely give higher performance for large matrices.
  • Row names of matrix are now shown when plot_method = "plotly". This functionality should also be added to the function whenplot_method = “ggplot”`, once changes are made to the plotly R package.
  • Add colorbar_len argument, which controls the fraction of the total height which the colorbar/color legend will take up.
  • Add colorbar_xpos, colorbar_ypos, to change the x and y position of the colorbar, in case the defaults are not suitable.
  • Add colorbar_xanchor, colorbar_yanchor arguments which control the anchoring points of the colorbar, relative to which the x and y position is applied (“left”, “middle” and “right” for colorbar_xanchor, and “top”, “middle” or “bottom” for colorbar_yanchor).
  • Allow for colorbar and side color legends to be displayed simultaneously when plot_method = "plotly"
  • Add long_data argumnet, which allows the user to use data in “long” format (eg, http://www.theanalysisfactor.com/wide-and-long-data/).
  • Add label_names argument, which allows the user to specify names to replace “row” and “column” as the names of the mouseover co-ordinates.
  • Add “cellnote” functionality, allowing the display of text overlaid on the cells of the heatmap. Controlled by the draw_cellnote argument. Cellnote color can be controlled by the cellnote_color argument. It is hoped that with future versions of plotly, an outline can be added, in order to make text readable on any background.
  • Add fontsize_row and fontsize_col arguments to heatmaply, which control font size for row and column labels. cexRow and cexCol are aliases (in order to keep compatability with gplots::heatmap.2).
  • Add grid_gap argument. Default is 0, higher numbers influence the gap between cells, helping the user to identify distinct values/cells within the matrix.
• heatmapr
  • Removed some unused arguments and code.
• is.plotly - new function to check if an object is of class plotly or not.

BUG FIXES

• heatmaply
  • Fix the cexRow and cexCol arguments, which were previously non-functional.
  • Fix a mistake in an object’s check in ggplot_heatmap. Props to Hannes Becker (https://twitter.com/SportsTribution/status/846764290484944896). The following no longer crashes heatmaply: library(heatmaply) df <- data.frame(1) heatmaply(mtcars)
  • Make sure limits work when NA are present.
  • Fix the error: “argument * matches multiple formal arguments” by adding an explicit “col” argument to heatmaply.

DOCS

• heatmaply
  • Added scale and na.rm arguments to the document.
  • Added seriate.
• Cross-ref percentize and normalize.
• Vignette
  • Re-organize sections
  • Adding a section on data transformation.
  • Fixing typos

heatmaply 0.8.2 (2017-03-20)

BUG FIXES

• Remove temp files.
• Fix missing import and two typos.

heatmaply 0.8.0 (2017-03-18)

NEW FEATURES

• heatmaply - * file parameter - allows to save a heatmaply plot as an HTML file. * Allow Rowv/Colv to also work for hclust (by turning them into a dendrogram). * Add examples to heatmaply’s Rd and the vignette on using Rowv/Colv. * Added the parameters hclust_method, dist_method to allow a more refined control over dist and hclust functions which are creating the dendrograms. A user wanting an even more refined control should just supply dendrograms directly to Rowv and Colv. * Added the parameters: distfun_row, hclustfun_row, distfun_col, hclustfun_col. They allow a more refine control over the dendrograms of the rows/columns (without the user needing to create the dendrograms from scratch) * clean the modeBarButtons from irrelevent icons
  • RColorBrewer_colors - added colors to be available for the heatmap. The sequential palettes names are (less important since we have viridis): Blues BuGn BuPu GnBu Greens Greys Oranges OrRd PuBu PuBuGn PuRd Purples RdPu Reds YlGn YlGnBu YlOrBr YlOrRd The diverging palettes are: BrBG PiYG PRGn PuOr RdBu RdGy RdYlBu RdYlGn Spectral

BUG FIXES

• heatmaply -
  • make row_side_colors/col_side_colors work for vectors as well (by turning them to a data.frame). Fixes: Error in if (dim(row_side_colors)[1] != dim(x)[1]) stop(“row_side_colors and x have different numbers of rows”) : argument is of length zero

heatmaply 0.7.0 (2017-01-21)

NEW FEATURES

• heatmaply - * Non numeric columns are now added to row_side_colors, making heatmaply reasonably robust to heterogeneous data.frames. * main - a new parameter for setting the title of the plot. * the margins parameter now accepts 4 elements (previously it was only 2), for bottom, left, top (relevant for the plot’s title) and right margins.
• heatmapr - * Allow k_row and k_col to accept NA. This will pick the number of clusters using dendextend::find_k

NEW FUNCTIONS

• percentize - a pre-processing function for performing the Empirical Percentile Transformation on a vector or data.frame.
• normalize - a pre-processing function for adjusing the range of the variables to be from 0 to 1.
• is.na10 - Indicates which elements are missing (either 1 and 0)

heatmaply 0.6.1 (2016-11-11)

BUG FIXES

• Allow dendrogram parameter to work again.

heatmaply 0.6.0 (2016-11-05)

NEW FEATURES

• heatmaply - * added row_side_colors to allow non-numeric values in the sidebar of the heatmap, similar to RowSideColors in gplots::heatmap.2 (RowSideColors also works in heatmaply). Props goes to Alanocallaghan for his work on this. * added a proper margins parameter. * grid_color now works (thanks to a hack of using geom_hline and geom_vline instead of heom_tile(…, color) in ggplot_heatmap ) * added branches_lwd - to control the width of the dendrograms’ width.

heatmaply 0.5.0 (2016-08-04)

NEW FEATURES

• is.heatmapr
• ggheatmap - first try. (not working well enough yet. The proportions of the elements are not good)
• heatmaply

heatmaply 0.4.0 (2016-07-15)

NEW FEATURES

• heatmaply
  • grid_color - control the color of the heatmap grid. This is currently not working until this feature will be added by plotly.
  • hover over dendrogram now returns the height.
  • colors can now also accept a function (and will use it to produce 256 colors)
• heatmapr
  • seriate - character indicating the method of matrix sorting (default: “OLO”). This uses the seriation package.
  • srtRow, srtCol - add legacy support for these parameters (they are passed to row_text_angle and column_text_angle)
  • hide_colorbar - controls if the color bar should be hidden.
  • xlab, ylab - add titles to the x and y axis.
