[R] apply a color range (kind of like a heat map) to the values in each cell of a data frame

Hi Jim,

Thank you so much for your help!

I looked into the plotrix package, the addtable2plot function can do somewhat I want by creating an empty plot first.

Hi Ding,
There are a number of "value to color" functions in various packages.
One is "color.scale" in the plotrix package:

library(plotrix)
s1 <-c(0.085,0.086,0.139,0.129,0.235,0.177,0.000,0.126,0.271,0.000,0.083,0.163)
s2 <-c(0.000,0.093,0.000,0.080,0.072,0.388,0.138,0.107,0.000,0.000,0.474,0.000)
s13 <-c(0.000,0.077,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.166,0.308,0.000)
s3 <-c(0.000,0.478,0.000,0.332,0.163,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.145,0.469,0.000,0.000)
test1 <-data.frame(s1,s2,s13,s3)
# generate a matrix of colors
test1.col<-color.scale(as.matrix(test1),extremes=c("white","blue"))

color.scale calculates colors using linear interpolation of the values in three color spaces (RGB, HSV or HCL). You may be interested in some of the plotting functions in plotrix that employ color.scale, particularly "size_n_color".

I hope to save the colored table into a PNG file and want to modify the size of each cell, so I can apply the code to a much bigger table with 140 rows and 30 column.
