Hello everyone.. Is there any graphical tool to help me see what is inside a matrix? I have 100x100 dimensions matrix and as you already know as it does not fit on my screen R splits it into pieces. I would like to thank you in advance for your help Best Regards Alex [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Hi: One possibility is a heatmap, although there are other approaches. x <- matrix(sample(1:100, 10000, replace = TRUE), nrow = 100) image(x) xx <- apply(x, 1, sort) # sorts the rows of x image(xx) # ggplot2 version: library(ggplot2) ggplot(melt(x), aes(x=X1, y=X2, fill=value)) + geom_tile() + scale_fill_gradientn(colour = terrain.colors(10)) See the online help page http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/scale_gradientn.html for several examples of choosing color ranges in scale_fill_gradientn(). To get similar control over image, change the col = argument according to the description on the help page of image - ?image . Another alternative is an enhanced heatmap function in package gplots. I'll leave that to you to investigate... HTH, Dennis On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 12:22 AM, Alaios <alaios@yahoo.com> wrote:> Hello everyone..

The image function will create a plot with the values transformed to colors. Or the View function (note the capitol V) will let you look at it in a spreadsheet like window with scrollbars. -- Gregory (Greg) L.
