Is it possible to remove or reposition the RowSideColors annotation legend?

[jeremycfd]

Hello!

When creating a plot with a lot of RowSideColors, the RowSideColors legend tends to get a bit unwieldy and can overlap with the actual legend. I've found that setting plot_method = "plotly" helps compact the RowSideColors annotations, but again when there is a long list it ends up pushing the legend to weird parts of the plot. Is there a way to remove the Row annotations legend entirely while keeping the RowSideColors?

Thanks!

Hi,
I encounter the same problem. I have to use plot_method = "plotly" to set a custom hover text, but this causes the Row/ColSideColors legend to appear again, even if hide_colorbar = TRUE.
If I use plot_method = "ggplot", the RowSideColors legend is removed.

This is the code I used:

I'm really sorry. Late Friday at work had me lose my good manners... Here you go with a reprex:

library(magrittr)

set.seed(123)

heatmap_input <- tibble::tibble(x = runif(3),
                                y = runif(3),
                                z = runif(3),
                                sector = c("a", "b", "c")) %>% 
  tibble::column_to_rownames(var = "sector") %>% 
  as.matrix()

row_side <- runif(3)
col_side <- runif(3) %>% 
  setNames(colnames(heatmap_input))


main_Heatmap <- heatmaply::heatmaply(
  heatmap_input,
  row_side_colors = tibble::tibble("<b>Sector Relevance Total</b>" = row_side),
  col_side_colors = tibble::tibble("<b>Covered Portfolio NAV</b>" = col_side),
  #col_side_palette = colCopheneticCor,
  #row_side_palette = rowCopheneticCor,
  dendrogram = "none",
  #custom_hovertext = text_mat_main,
  plot_method = c("plotly"),
  hide_colorbar = TRUE) %>%
  plotly::layout(showlegend = FALSE,
                 annotations = list(
                   visible = FALSE
                 ))

Many thanks for looking into this.
