I have created a heatmap in R and heatmaply. I need to add this heatmap to a paper I am publishing. The heatmap is very big and heatmaply's zoom is very useful. Is it possible to add this heatmap - it becomes a .html file when saved - to a PDF? Is there any method to add an interactive heatmap another than a hyperlink?

The short answer is - no. Adding interactive graphics (like heatmaply) to a PDF file is not possible. My best advice is to go for something that supports HTML.

You can, however, add a static image to a PDF file by outputting the heatmap from heatmaply by following the documentation: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/heatmaply/heatmaply.pdf (search for "static").

  • As in the manual entry for the `file` argument: "name of the file(s) into which to save the heatmaply output. Should be a character vector of strings ending with ".html" for a dynamic output, or ".png", ".jpeg", ".pdf" for a static output.". – larsoevlisen Feb 21 '20 at 09:28
