热图颜色在图中不起作用

我正在尝试使用剧情为R in Shiny打印出一组热图。我想给他们一个自定义的色标,但它不是我想要它的表现。当我在构建我的阴谋图表时使用 colors = 选项时,它似乎使用了值的分布,而不是我给它分配颜色的zmin和zmax。

在下面的示例代码中,您可以看到我使用colors =选项为每个绘图提供相同的色阶(colorScale)。当我有一个分布良好的数据集时,我的预期就像我在第一,第二和第四行图中那样。

然而,在第三行中,图表的数据非常偏斜,您可以看到比例看起来与其他所有比例不同 - 它们有蓝色和红色,但跳过中间的白色,而不是紫色。

在我的实际代码中,这对于中间有很多值的图表造成了很大的问题,两端都有一些极端 - 我希望中间的那些值显示为白色,以表明存在没有变化,但是它们是紫色的,这使得更难找出重要的值(极端值)。

有没有办法强制颜色分配按我想要的方式运行?

谢谢, 崖

我在R plotly heatmap中遇到了类似的色阶问题。当z参数的数据具有螺旋分布时,图表中仅使用颜色标度中指定的几种颜色。

我通过根据原始变量的分位数创建一个新变量找到了一个解决方案,并将其传递给z参数。这是一般想法的R代码。您需要对其进行自定义以使其适用于特定问题。

library(plotly)
library(RColorBrewer)

# create a dataframe where z has a skewed distribution
set.seed(1)
df = data.frame(x = rep(1:50, 20) , y = rep(1:20,each =50), z = rgamma(1000, 2, 0.5))

# check distribution of z 
plot_ly(data = df, x = ~z, type = "histogram")%>% 
    layout(title = "histogram of z")  

# original heatmap
# pass the column z with screwed distribution to z argument
plot_ly(data=df, x=~x, y=~y, z=~z, type="heatmap",  
        colors = "Spectral") %>% 
    layout(title = "original heatmap")

# some data processing work 

# find unique quantiles of z 
quantiles = unique(quantile(df$z, seq(0,1,0.1)))

# create a dummy column z1 of discrete values using the quantiles as cut off
# the ideas is to arrage the data to subgroups of roughly the same size 
df$z1= cut(df$z, breaks =  c(quantiles[1]-1,quantiles[-1]), right = TRUE, labels = FALSE)

# check distribution of z1 
plot_ly(data = df, x = ~z1, type = "histogram")%>% 
    layout(title = "histogram of z1")


# new heatmap 
# passes the new column z1 to z argument 
plot_ly(data=df, x=~x, y=~y, z=~z1, type="heatmap",  
        # make sure hovering over displays original z
        text =~z, hoverinfo = "text", 
        # use the color palettes from RColorBrewer, 
        # or your customized colorscale
        colors = "Spectral",  
        # map the label of the colorbar back to the quantiles
        colorbar=list(tickmode="array", tickvals = 1:(length(quantiles)-1), ticktext = round(quantiles,2)[-1], title = "z")) %>% 
layout(title = "new heat map")

下面是原始热图和由plotly生成的新热图。新的热图使用更多来自&#34; Spectral&#34;调色板以区分较小的值。

希望这有帮助!

我在R plotly存储库上打开了一个请求,用于转换色阶的功能。
