not sure about gplots, but the one in base R should work well if you specify the scaling method to be 'none':
heatmap(a4[1:40, ], Rowv=NA, Colv=NA, col=c("grey", "blue", "purple", "red"), scale='none') Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyi...@gmail.com> Phone: 515-294-2465 Web: http://yihui.name Department of Statistics, Iowa State University 2215 Snedecor Hall, Ames, IA On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 6:07 PM, Weiwei Shi <helprh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > I have a matrix like this: > >> a4[1:20, 1:5] > 194 211 294 314 315 > GO:0000003 1 1 1 1 1 > GO:0000072 0 0 0 0 0 > GO:0000076 1 0 0 0 0 > GO:0000082 1 3 1 1 1 > GO:0000083 1 0 0 0 1 > GO:0000086 0 1 0 1 1 > GO:0000114 0 0 0 0 0 > GO:0000115 0 0 0 0 0 > GO:0000117 0 0 0 0 0 > GO:0000160 0 0 1 0 0 > GO:0000212 0 0 0 0 0 > GO:0000216 1 0 0 1 0 > GO:0000226 1 0 1 0 0 > GO:0000278 1 1 1 2 1 > GO:0000320 0 0 0 0 0 > GO:0000710 0 0 0 0 0 > GO:0000768 0 0 0 0 0 > GO:0000819 1 0 0 1 1 > GO:0000910 1 0 0 3 0 > GO:0000917 0 0 0 0 0 > > I wanted to plot a heatmap to assign "grey" to 0, "blue" to 1, "purple" to > 2, and "red" to 3.
