interactive heatmap

Hi there,
I am interested in selecting some genes after the visualization of dittoheatmap based on the gene clusters. Too many genes (~300) are in the heatmap, so it's hard to know them by label. I wondered if there's an interactive mode I can use to select and understand what these genes are. Thank you

Hi there,

One option is to make use of complex = TRUE in your dittoHeatmap() call and then use InteractiveComplexHeatmap, the Shiny app companion for ComplexHeatmap. I haven't used this much yet myself, but it looks super cool! There's a vignette here.

Eventually I will find time to address #101 properly, but in the meantime, if it would be helpful to label only specific genes after you pick them out, there's some code in that issue for making use of ComplexHeatmap's more robust labeling system.

I just try it, it's pretty nice! Thanks!
