[BioC] question about heatmap.2

[Saroj K Mohapatra]

Hi Wei,

I think you need to set the row.names argument in read.csv to 1.

> ?read.csv
-----------------------
row.names: a vector of row names.  This can be a vector giving the
          actual row names, or a single number giving the column of the
          table which contains the row names, or character string
          giving the name of the table column containing the row names.

          If there is a header and the first row contains one fewer
          field than the number of columns, the first column in the
          input is used for the row names.  Otherwise if 'row.names' is
          missing, the rows are numbered.

          Using 'row.names = NULL' forces row numbering. Missing or
          'NULL' 'row.names' generate row names that are considered to
          be 'automatic' (and not preserved by 'as.matrix'). 
-----------------------

Because the row.names are missing from your command, the rows were numbered automatically (see above).

If you call:
>  data=read.csv("file.csv", header=T, row.names=1)

it would automatically read the row labels which should show as expected on the heatmap. I hope that solves this problem.

Best,
Saroj

Try

heatmap.2(x, labRow=x$ID)
