License

The package is distributed under the MIT license.Read 11 Oct 2026 · docs.ropensci.org

Annotations

Row and column annotations can display data such as groups or continuous values alongside a heatmap.Read 11 Oct 2026 · docs.ropensci.org

Clustering

The package supports hierarchical clustering, k-means clustering, supplied group assignments, and dendrograms.Read 11 Oct 2026 · docs.ropensci.org

Export

Plots can be saved as standalone HTML or static PDF, PNG, or JPEG files.Read 11 Oct 2026 · docs.ropensci.org

Installation

The package can be installed from CRAN with install.packages("iheatmapr") or from GitHub with devtools::install_github("ropensci/iheatmapr").Read 11 Oct 2026 · docs.ropensci.org

Integration

iheatmapr uses the Plotly library and includes the Plotly.js open source library.Read 11 Oct 2026 · docs.ropensci.org

Interactivity

It uses Plotly for cell tooltips and interactive zooming.Read 11 Oct 2026 · docs.ropensci.org

Layout

Subplots can be added to the top, bottom, left, or right of a main heatmap, and multiple main heatmaps can show different data for the same conditions.Read 11 Oct 2026 · docs.ropensci.org

Limit

The convenience iheatmap function offers fewer options and less flexibility in component ordering and sizing than using modular functions directly.Read 11 Oct 2026 · docs.ropensci.org

Linked zoom

Plots aligned with a main heatmap share its axis, so zooming in that axis is linked across the aligned plots.Read 11 Oct 2026 · docs.ropensci.org

Platform

desktopRead 23 Sep 2026 · docs.ropensci.org

Platform binaries

CRAN lists Windows binaries and macOS binaries for arm64 and x86_64; the package page also provides a source archive.Read 11 Oct 2026 · cran.r-project.org
