I am making an heatmap with "heatmaply" R package, but I have overlapping rownames (see red circled area). Any suggestion or tutorial about fixing this problem?

Thanks a lot! enter image description here

  • It looks like you have about 100 different labels on the y axis. This is unlikely to make for a clear plot whatever you do. Your labels will not clash if you make the plotting area much bigger, but I think you would need either a very large plot (over 2000 pixels) to see the names. From a data visualisation point-of-view, the best thing might be to turn this into a number of smaller plots, perhaps grouping the y axis variables into clusters and having a plot for each cluster. – Allan Cameron Aug 31 '22 at 21:53

You can use the fontsize_row argument to set it to a number smaller than 10.

E.g.:

library("heatmaply")
heatmaply(mtcars) # default fontsize_row is 10

enter image description here

library("heatmaply")
heatmaply(mtcars, fontsize_row = 5)
