rpy2-complex-heatmap-grammar

Python heatmap interface using intuitive grammar of graphics, implemented as an rpy2 wrapper around ComplexHeatmap package.

Introduction

What this package is:

• an exploration in search of the dream API for complex heatmap creation
• trying to get the best of Python, ggplot2 (/plotnine) and ComplexHeatmap
• oriented towards data exploration in Jupyter notebooks with IPython (-compatible) kernel
• pushing boundaries for Python-R interoperability via rpy2

What this package is NOT:

• likely not suitable for beginners (if you can get through installation/used rpy2 before you are not a beginner)
• not a drop-in substitute for ComplexHeatmap for Python
• not ready for production use (API is subject to change)
• not affiliated with rpy2 or ComplexHeatmap
