Hi,

Does anyone knows how to put two heatmaps (generated from GeneOverlap package) side-by-side?

These are the code to produce one heatmap:

library(GeneOverlap)
data(GeneOverlap)
gom.obj <- newGOM(hESC.ChIPSeq.list, genome.size=gs.RNASeq)
drawHeatmap(gom.obj, adj.p=TRUE, cutoff=1,  # show all.
    ncolused=5, grid.col="Blues", note.col="black")
drawHeatmap(gom.obj, log.scale=TRUE, ncolused=5)
drawHeatmap(gom.obj, what="Jaccard", ncolused=5)

Thank you in advance for your help.

The heatmaps in GeneOverlap are generated using heatmap.2 from the gplots package, which uses base graphics. The canonical way to make side-by-side plots in base graphics is to use layout, or you could use split.screen or par(mfrow = 2). You can play around with settings to make things look less squished (which they almost certainly will, until you do so).

Hi James,

Thanks for your comment. I'm not familiar with layout but I tried par(mfrow=c(1,2)) it doesn't work. This still plot the heatmaps on different pages.

Ah, you know what? I forgot that heatmap.2 already calls layout, so you won't be able to do what you want, at least within R, using drawHeatmap.

An alternative would be to use ComplexHeatmap or pheatmap instead. You will probably have to figure out what drawHeatmap does, exactly, in order to generate something comparable on your own. But that's the promise and the peril of Open Source software. All the code is there and available, so you can do what you want. But only if you are willing and able to figure out how to do what you want, given what you have.
