The heat map publisher

    To invoke the heat map publisher, simply right-click on the heat map in the main window and choose the save image area option. You can also use the publish button in the footer when the display mode is set to heat map.

NOTE

    Only the selected clusters are included in the resulting image, giving you the opportunity to select only the clusters you wish to publish in the image.

  
Heat Map Pubisher Window

    The window is divided into two parts. The left part displays a preview of the heat map and the right part the controls. You can click on the color gradient to adjust the heat map contrast. Use the "Color Preferences" button to edit the cluster colors.

  • Size X : This slider determines the width in pixels of each heat map cell
  • Size Y: This slider determines the height in pixels of each heat map cell
  • Separator : This slider determines the amount of space between classes, if any (more on this here). This slider is enabled when there is at least one class separator
  • Name : This slider determines the maximum width in pixels allowed to draw the gene name (See the red arrow above)
  • Description : This slider determines the maximum width in pixels allowed to draw the gene description (See the green arrow above). This slider is enabled when the height of the heat map cell is greater than or equal to 12 pixels
  • Legend : This slider determines the width in pixels of each coloring scheme legend (See the blue arrow below). This slider is enabled when the height of an heat map cell is greater than or equal to 12 pixels
  • Draw Grid : This checkbox will surround each heat map cell with a black frame
  • Show outliers : This checkbox when selected will add the outliers cluster to the heat map. (Gaussian model only)
  • Draw Names : This checkbox will show/hide gene names
  • Draw Descriptions : This checkbox will show/hide gene descriptions
  • Show Coloring Scheme : This checkbox will add a coloring scheme column to the right of the heat map (See the blue arrow below) This checkbox is enabled when at least one coloring scheme is loaded in the coloring scheme panel
  • Show Coloring scheme legends : This checkbox will add a legend at the beginning of the heat map
  • Edit : This button lets you choose the displayed coloring schemes when more than one are loaded in the coloring scheme panel

    The right bottom frame displays a summary the heat map and the resulting image.


NOTE

    If the heat map height exceeds 8000 pixels or the width exceeds 3000 pixels, you will be warned that clipping will occur.
