ComplexHeatmap is an R/Bioconductor package by Zuguang Gu et al. designed to create highly flexible, complex, richly annotated heatmaps and related visualizations. It allows arranging multiple heatmaps, adding annotations, combining heatmaps, customizing colors, layouts, and integrating other plots. Often used in genomics/bioinformatics to show expression, methylation, etc., with sidebars, annotations, clustering, etc. Highly customizable layout: combining different heatmaps, arranging and splitting, dealing with multiple heatmap merges, combining with other plots etc. Integration with Shiny / interactive heatmaps via companion packages (InteractiveComplexHeatmap) to allow interactivity, etc.

Features

  • Create highly flexible, complex, richly annotated heatmaps
  • Combining different heatmaps, arranging splitting, dealing with multiple heatmap merge, combining with other plots etc.
  • Bar plots, boxplots, images, heatmap cell clustering, etc.
  • Rasterization/optimization for large heatmaps for performance and memory management
  • Integration with Shiny/interactive heatmaps via companion packages (InteractiveComplexHeatmap) to allow interactivity etc.
  • Vignettes/extensive documentation & examples; support from Bioconductor distribution making installation & updates manageable.
