Description

A Tidy Implementation of Heatmap.

Description

This is a tidy implementation for heatmap. At the moment it is based on the (great) package 'ComplexHeatmap'. The goal of this package is to interface a tidy data frame with this powerful tool. Some of the advantages are: Row and/or columns colour annotations are easy to integrate just specifying one parameter (column names). Custom grouping of rows is easy to specify providing a grouped tbl. For example: df %>% group_by(...). Labels size adjusted by row and column total number. Default use of Brewer and Viridis palettes.

tidyHeatmap is a package that introduces tidy principles to the creation of information-rich heatmaps. This package uses ComplexHeatmap as graphical engine.

Advantages:

Modular annotation with just specifying column names
Custom grouping of rows is easy to specify providing a grouped tbl. For example df |> group_by(...)
Labels size adjusted by row and column total number
Default use of Brewer and Viridis palettes

Input data frame

The heatmaps visualise a multi-element, multi-feature dataset, annotated with independent variables. Each observation is a element-feature pair (e.g., person-physical characteristics).

element	feature	value	independent_variables
`chr` or `fctr`	`chr` or `fctr`	`numeric`	…

Let’s transform the mtcars dataset into a tidy “element-feature-independent variables” data frame. Where the independent variables in this case are ‘hp’ and ‘vs’.

mtcars_tidy <- 
    mtcars |> 
    as_tibble(rownames="Car name") |> 
    
    # Scale
    mutate_at(vars(-`Car name`, -hp, -vs), scale) |>
    
    # tidyfy
    pivot_longer(cols = -c(`Car name`, hp, vs), names_to = "Property", values_to = "Value")

mtcars_tidy

## # A tibble: 288 × 5
##    `Car name`       hp    vs Property Value[,1]
##    <chr>         <dbl> <dbl> <chr>        <dbl>
##  1 Mazda RX4       110     0 mpg          0.151
##  2 Mazda RX4       110     0 cyl         -0.105
##  3 Mazda RX4       110     0 disp        -0.571
##  4 Mazda RX4       110     0 drat         0.568
##  5 Mazda RX4       110     0 wt          -0.610
##  6 Mazda RX4       110     0 qsec        -0.777
##  7 Mazda RX4       110     0 am           1.19 
##  8 Mazda RX4       110     0 gear         0.424
##  9 Mazda RX4       110     0 carb         0.735
## 10 Mazda RX4 Wag   110     0 mpg          0.151
## # … with 278 more rows

Plotting

For plotting, you simply pipe the input data frame into heatmap, specifying:

The rows, cols relative column names (mandatory)
The value column name (mandatory)
The annotations column name(s)

mtcars

mtcars_heatmap <- 
    mtcars_tidy |> 
    heatmap(`Car name`, Property, Value,    scale = "row"   ) |>
    add_tile(hp)

mtcars_heatmap

Saving

mtcars_heatmap |> save_pdf("mtcars_heatmap.pdf")

Grouping and splitting

We can easily group the data (one group per dimension maximum, at the moment only the vertical dimension is supported) with dplyr, and the heatmap will be grouped accordingly

# Make up more groupings
mtcars_tidy_groupings = 
    mtcars_tidy |>
    mutate(property_group = if_else(Property %in% c("cyl", "disp"), "Engine", "Other"))

mtcars_tidy_groupings |> 
    group_by(vs, property_group) |>
    heatmap(`Car name`, Property, Value,    scale = "row"   ) |>
    add_tile(hp)

We can provide colour palettes to groupings

mtcars_tidy_groupings |> 
    group_by(vs, property_group) |>
    heatmap(
        `Car name`, Property, Value ,   
        scale = "row",
        palette_grouping = list(
            
            # For first grouping (vs)
            c("#66C2A5", "#FC8D62"), 
            
            # For second grouping (property_group)
            c("#b58b4c", "#74a6aa")
        )
    ) |>
    add_tile(hp)

We can split based on the cladogram

mtcars_tidy |> 
    heatmap(`Car name`, Property, Value,    scale = "row"   ) |>
    split_rows(2) |>
    split_columns(2)

We can split on kmean clustering (using ComplexHeatmap options, it is stochastic)

mtcars_tidy |> 
    heatmap(
        `Car name`, Property, Value,    
        scale = "row",
        row_km = 2,
        column_km = 2
    )

Custom palettes

We can easily use custom palette, using strings, hexadecimal color character vector,

mtcars_tidy |> 
    heatmap(
        `Car name`, 
        Property, 
        Value,  
        scale = "row",
        palette_value = c("red", "white", "blue")
    )

A better-looking blue-to-red palette

mtcars_tidy |> 
    heatmap(
        `Car name`, 
        Property, 
        Value,  
        scale = "row",
        palette_value = circlize::colorRamp2(
            seq(-2, 2, length.out = 11), 
            RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(11, "RdBu")
        )
    )

Or a grid::colorRamp2 function for higher flexibility

mtcars_tidy |> 
    heatmap(
        `Car name`, 
        Property, 
        Value,  
        scale = "row",
        palette_value = circlize::colorRamp2(c(-2, -1, 0, 1, 2), viridis::magma(5))
    )

We can use grid::colorRamp2 function for tile annotation too

mtcars_tidy |> 
    heatmap(
        `Car name`, 
        Property, 
        Value,  
        scale = "row"
    ) |>
    add_tile(
        hp, 
        palette = circlize::colorRamp2(c(0, 100, 200, 300), viridis::magma(4))
    )

Multiple groupings and annotations

tidyHeatmap::pasilla |>
    group_by(location, type) |>
    heatmap(
        .column = sample,
        .row = symbol,
        .value = `count normalised adjusted`,   
        scale = "row"
    ) |>
    add_tile(condition) |>
    add_tile(activation)

Remove legends, adding aesthetics to annotations in a modular fashion, using ComplexHeatmap arguments

tidyHeatmap::pasilla |>
    group_by(location, type) |>
    heatmap(
        .column = sample,
        .row = symbol,
        .value = `count normalised adjusted`,   
        scale = "row",
        show_heatmap_legend = FALSE
    ) |>
    add_tile(condition, show_legend = FALSE) |>
    add_tile(activation, show_legend = FALSE)

Annotation types

“tile”, “point”, “bar” and “line” are available

# Create some more data points
pasilla_plus <- 
    tidyHeatmap::pasilla |>
    dplyr::mutate(act = activation) |> 
    tidyr::nest(data = -sample) |>
    dplyr::mutate(size = rnorm(n(), 4,0.5)) |>
    dplyr::mutate(age = runif(n(), 50, 200)) |>
    tidyr::unnest(data) 

# Plot
pasilla_plus |>
    heatmap(
        .column = sample,
        .row = symbol,
        .value = `count normalised adjusted`,   
        scale = "row"
    ) |>
    add_tile(condition) |>
    add_point(activation) |>
    add_tile(act) |>
    add_bar(size) |>
    add_line(age)

Annotation size

We can customise annotation sizes using the grid::unit(), and the size of their names using in-built ComplexHeatmap arguments

pasilla_plus |>
    heatmap(
        .column = sample,
        .row = symbol,
        .value = `count normalised adjusted`,   
        scale = "row"
    ) |>
    add_tile(condition, size = unit(0.3, "cm"), annotation_name_gp= gpar(fontsize = 8)) |>
    add_point(activation, size = unit(0.3, "cm"),   annotation_name_gp= gpar(fontsize = 8)) |>
    add_tile(act, size = unit(0.3, "cm"),   annotation_name_gp= gpar(fontsize = 8)) |>
    add_bar(size, size = unit(0.3, "cm"),   annotation_name_gp= gpar(fontsize = 8)) |>
    add_line(age, size = unit(0.3, "cm"),   annotation_name_gp= gpar(fontsize = 8))

Layer symbol

Add a layer on top of the heatmap

tidyHeatmap::pasilla |>
    
    # filter
    filter(symbol %in% head(unique(tidyHeatmap::pasilla$symbol), n = 10)) |>
    
    heatmap(
        .column = sample,
        .row = symbol,
        .value = `count normalised adjusted`,   
        scale = "row"
    ) |> 
    layer_point(
        `count normalised adjusted log` > 6 & sample == "untreated3" 
    )

Adding heatmap side-by-side

p_heatmap = heatmap(mtcars_tidy, `Car name`, Property, Value, scale = "row") 

p_heatmap + p_heatmap

ComplexHeatmap further styling

Add cell borders

mtcars_tidy |> 
    heatmap(
        `Car name`, Property, Value,    
        scale = "row", 
        rect_gp = grid::gpar(col = "#161616", lwd = 0.5)
    )

Drop row clustering

mtcars_tidy |> 
    heatmap(
        `Car name`, Property, Value,    
        scale = "row", 
        cluster_rows = FALSE
    )

Reorder rows elements

library(forcats)
mtcars_tidy |> 
    mutate(`Car name` = fct_reorder(`Car name`, `Car name`, .desc = TRUE)) %>% 
    heatmap(
        `Car name`, Property, Value,    
        scale = "row", 
        cluster_rows = FALSE
    )

Size of dendrograms

mtcars_tidy |> 
    mutate(`Car name` = fct_reorder(`Car name`, `Car name`, .desc = TRUE)) %>% 
    heatmap(
        `Car name`, Property, Value,    
        scale = "row", 
        column_dend_height = unit(0.2, "cm"), 
        row_dend_width = unit(0.2, "cm")
    )

Size of rows/columns titles and names

mtcars_tidy |> 
    mutate(`Car name` = fct_reorder(`Car name`, `Car name`, .desc = TRUE)) %>% 
    heatmap(
        `Car name`, Property, Value,    
        scale = "row", 
        row_names_gp = gpar(fontsize = 7),
        column_names_gp = gpar(fontsize = 7),
        column_title_gp = gpar(fontsize = 7),
        row_title_gp = gpar(fontsize = 7)
    )

External `ComplexHeatmap` functionalities

ComplexHeatmap has some graphical functionalities that are not included in the standard functional framework

Chainging side of legends

heatmap(mtcars_tidy, `Car name`, Property, Value, scale = "row" ) %>%
    as_ComplexHeatmap() %>%
    ComplexHeatmap::draw(heatmap_legend_side = "left"   )

Using patchwork to integrate heatmaps

library(ggplot2)
library(patchwork)

p_heatmap =
    mtcars_tidy |> 
    heatmap(
        `Car name`, Property, Value,    
        scale = "row", 
            show_heatmap_legend = FALSE,
        row_names_gp = gpar(fontsize = 7)
    ) 

p_ggplot = tibble(value = 1:10) %>% ggplot(aes(value)) + geom_density()

wrap_heatmap(p_heatmap) + 
    p_ggplot +
    wrap_heatmap(p_heatmap) + 
    plot_layout(width = c(1, 0.3, 1))
