Esteemed R-users,

heatmap.2() is yielding an inappropriate key based on my colors and break-points.

In the reproducible example below, the key is inappropriate (to me) because-

1. 'Orange' is simply not represented in the key, despite its prescence in the heatmap. 2. The proportions of the key are clearly out, ie., my largest bin, (0.1 - 0.2) is half the range, but this bin (colored "gray") clearly extnds bellow the "0.1" tick mark of the key, beyond its specified bin.

What am i missing/doing wrong? Or for a key set up like this example is heatmap.2() unsuitable, necessitating production with another graphics functions? If so, recommendations appreciated. I have tried ggplot2, but struggle getting this function producing what i need. And i just need to make a nice key at this point.

All thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.
cheers,

karl


#reproducible example:
library(gplots)
set.seed(5)
mat <- matrix(runif(50,  min=0, max=0.2), nrow = 10, ncol = 5)
heatmap.2(mat,
          Rowv=NULL, Colv=NULL,
          col = c(heat.colors(4, alpha = 1), "gray"),
          breaks = c(0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, 1),
          trace = "none",
          dendrogram = "none",
          density.info = "none",
          margins=c(12, 8))
