Michael,
Heatmap.2 is my favorite heat map function because of its flexibility
and options, but I've learned that if you really want to customize
things with (any) heat map, you have to edit the code at some point.
Look at the code of heatmap.2 by typing heatmap.2. Copy and paste that
into an editor. Look at the part of the code:
if (trace %in% c("both", "column")) {
retval$vline <- vline
vline.vals <- scale01(vline, min.scale, max.scale)
for (i in colInd) {
if (!is.null(vline)) {
abline(v = i - 0.5 + vline.vals, col = linecol,
lty = 2)
}
xv <- rep(i, nrow(x.scaled)) + x.scaled[, i] - 0.5
xv <- c(xv[1], xv)
yv <- 1:length(xv) - 0.5
lines(x = xv, y = yv, lwd = 1, col = tracecol, type = "s")
}
}
if (trace %in% c("both", "row")) {
retval$hline <- hline
hline.vals <- scale01(hline, min.scale, max.scale)
for (i in rowInd) {
if (!is.null(hline)) {
abline(h = i + hline, col = linecol, lty = 2)
}
yv <- rep(i, ncol(x.scaled)) + x.scaled[i, ] - 0.5
yv <- rev(c(yv[1], yv))
xv <- length(yv):1 - 0.5
lines(x = xv, y = yv, lwd = 1, col = tracecol, type = "s")
}
}
I tested it just briefly, but if you change the value of lwd in the
lines() function, you will have what you want.
Create your own function (say heatmap.3) using the entire code, but
change that portion. Then your new function heatmap.3 will get the job
done.

Subject: [BioC] Heatmap.2 Trace Line Thickness
I have made a simple heat map (two columns, twelve genes each). The
command I use is:
heatmap.2(WATVal.mtx, labRow = WATNames, col=redgreen (40), symbreaks
= TRUE, tracecol="grey98", Rowv = FALSE, Colv = FALSE, dendrogram =
"none", margins = c(15,25))
Where WATVal.mtx is the data matrix and WATNames is a data frame with
row labels.
I would like to make the trace line thicker. How do I go about doing
this? I have tried variations on the lwd command without success.
Thanks,
Michael
