An R/Bioconductor package for creating complex heatmaps with flexible arrangement of multiple heatmaps and rich annotation graphics. It is widely used to visualize associations between data sources and reveal patterns in multidimensional genomic data.

Use cases

• visualize a gene expression matrix as a heatmap with clustering
• plot multiple heatmaps side by side with shared row ordering
• add column and row annotations to a heatmap in R
• make a publication-quality complex heatmap for genomic data
• convert a pheatmap script to a more flexible heatmap package
• create a 3D heatmap in R

When to choose

• you need highly customizable heatmaps with annotations, legends, and multiple panels in R
• you work with bioinformatics or genomic multidimensional data
• you want Bioconductor integration and an active, well-documented package

When to avoid

• you only need a quick simple heatmap and prefer a minimal tool like pheatmap
• you are not working in R
• you need interactive dashboards rather than static figures (though see InteractiveComplexHeatmap)
