6 years ago Hi Hendrik,
Very cool idea! Would be neat to be able to do conversion in both directions (say if you were starting off with an interactive version for exploratory work but then wanted a nicer static version for publication). This would likely take a fair amount of effort to implement well, though, so I am not sure whether and how quickly this will happen. I'll do a bit of initial exploration to get a better sense of how straightforward (or not) this would be to implement. Also would definitely be happy to accept any PRs along these lines :smile:
Hey Alicia, I recently came across your package and think it's a great improvement for interactive heatmaps. And I will definitively start using it!
As I read your vignette about complexHeatmap being more or less the static version of iheatmapr I was wondering if there could be a conversion function between the two. Something similar to plotly's
ggplotly(). While this is anything but straightforward. A function like this would greatly improve the overall usability as one could rely on already existing heatmaps and there would be no need for learning the plotly approach. What do you think?Best, Hendrik
