Introduction

This package implements a convenient heatmap plotting package in python. It offers low level functions for

  1. Plotting

    • Heatmaps

    • Dendrograms

    • Annotations

    • Legends

  2. Figure layouting

Figure layout

The hmap package comes with a module for defining the layout of a figure using absolute length measurements. Currently the only unit supported is milimeters. The layout of a figure is defined as a grid. You have to specify

  • the number of rows,

  • the number of columns,

  • the widths of the columns,

  • the heights of the rows,

  • the vertical distance between adjacent rows,

  • the horizontal distance between adjacent columns,

  • the size of the bottom border margin,

  • the size of the top border margin,

  • the size of the left border margin, and

  • the size of theright border margin

As said before, the sizes are given in milimeters.
