HI All
sorry if this question has already been asked but I couldn't find
anything that answered my question
I have 24 columns of data that I'm trying to plot in heatmap.2
(gregmisc) and I'm having difficulty ordering them except in numerical
sequence:
I have transposed my matrix so it will appear with the dendrogram I want
appearing at the top of the heatmap
If I use either of these orders the ordering works:
order <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24)
order2 <- c(24,23,22,21,20,19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)
using the command:
heatmap.2(tmatrix, clusteredmatrixasdendrogram, col=bluered600,
dendrogram="column", scale="none", trace="none",
Rowv=order)
however If I start mixing the numbers up e.g:
order3 <- c(1,4,7,10,2,5,8,11,3,6,9,12,13,16,19,22,14,17,20,23,15,18,21,24)
or
order4 <- c(24,21,18,15,23,20,17,14,22,19,16,13,12,9,6,3,11,8,5,2,10,7,4,1)
The heatmap is reordered but NOT how I have specified:
The actual order it returns in either case is the same:
1,5,9,2,6,10,3,7,11,4,8,12,13,17,21,14,18,22,15,19,23,16,20,24 which I'm
completely confused about as I'm not plotting a dendrogram for the rows
or letting the heatmap function draw its own so where is it getting the
order from ? and is it possible to plot it like I'm trying to ?
My second question is also from the gregmisc package
I'm using bluered600 <- bluered(600) to specify the range of colors
plotted
my data ranges from -60 to +80 but I would like to specify that the
colours range from blue to red with white being zero
however because of the unequal distribution zero is shifted into the red
area (hope that makes sense)
I know I can specify colors for "low" "medium" and
"high", in some
graphics functions but this isn't what I'm trying to do
unless my data is evenly distributed i.e -60 to +60 I can't plot exactly
how I want to
If anyone has any ideas that would be fantastic
Cheers
Jason
