gplots: R Programming Tools for Plotting Data

Various R programming tools for plotting data, developed by Gregory R. Warnes. The package includes functions for locally smoothed summaries, enhanced standard plots, color manipulation, and two-dimensional data summaries. Specific tools mentioned include 'heatmap.2', 'venn', 'plotCI', and 'balloonplot'.

Use Cases

• Create enhanced heatmaps based on the 'heatmap.2' function mentioned in the description
• Generate Venn diagrams for set visualization based on the 'venn' function mentioned in the description
• Plot means with confidence intervals based on the 'plotCI' and 'plotmeans' functions mentioned in the description
• Visualize relative magnitudes using bubble or balloon plots based on the 'bubbleplot' and 'balloonplot' functions mentioned in the description
• Apply formula-enabled local regression smoothing based on the 'lowess' function mentioned in the description
