Value

ggplot

Details

If you want to display many genes there are 2 ways to proceed:

• 1. set axis_text_y_size to a really small value and show all genes

• 2. provide a subset of genes to display to gene_label_selection

Examples

if (FALSE) {

data(mini_giotto_single_cell)

# get all genes
all_genes = slot(mini_giotto_single_cell, 'gene_ID')

# plot heatmap
plotHeatmap(mini_giotto_single_cell,
            genes = all_genes[1:10])

# look at cell metadata
cell_metadata = pDataDT(mini_giotto_single_cell)

# plot heatmap per cell type, a column name from cell_metadata
plotHeatmap(mini_giotto_single_cell,
            genes = all_genes[1:10],
            cluster_column = 'cell_types')

}
