Creating specific grid lines for heatmap
显示 更早的评论
Hi all,
I am creating a heatmap of correlations using the heatmap function. I have been able to toggle the grid property on and off, but am having difficulty trying specific grid lines where I need them. From what I've read, this is generally accomplished using XTick and YTick for graphing purposes, but when I try it here I get the following error:
Unrecognized property 'XTick' for class 'matlab.graphics.chart.HeatmapChart'.
What I am trying to do, for example, is create easily recognizable groups of hot spots. I've attached below the code and some figures (same data with either grid on or grid off) to try to illustrate the goal. Let's say I wanted horizontal and vertical grid lines after the 3rd row and 3rd column. How can I add these to my figure? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
HeatmapTest=[
0.0000 0.4230 0.5668 0.5079 0.4572
0.4230 0.0000 0.4343 0.4262 0.4703
0.5668 0.4343 0.0000 0.5535 0.5072
0.5079 0.4262 0.5535 0.0000 0.5099
0.4572 0.4703 0.5072 0.5099 0.0000];
labelsTest=categorical({'RH TO1/MT','RH vTO','RH LO1','RH V3A','RH hV4'});
figure(1)
fixMap=heatmap(FixheatmapTest2);
fixMap.Title='Fixation Community Structure';
fixMap.XData=labelsTest;
fixMap.YData=labelsTest;
fixMap.Colormap=jet;
% grid(fixMap, 'off')
caxis([0 1]);
figure(2)
fixMap=heatmap(FixheatmapTest2);
fixMap.Title='Fixation Community Structure';
fixMap.XData=labelsTest;
fixMap.YData=labelsTest;
fixMap.Colormap=jet;
grid(fixMap, 'off')
caxis([0 1]);

The problem with changing the xtick is that your tick labels will also be affected.

Heatmaps are difficult to customized since many of their handles and properties are hidden or undocumented. imagesc is a good alternative (see example).
If you want to stick with the heatmap, to customize the grid lines you'll need to use undocumented methods which are liable to change in future release.
Tested in r2020b and r2021a
hm = heatmap(magic(9));
% Get underlying axis handle
origState = warning('query', 'MATLAB:structOnObject');
cleanup = onCleanup(@()warning(origState));
warning('off','MATLAB:structOnObject')
S = struct(hm); % Undocumented
ax = S.Axes; % Undocumented
clear('cleanup')
% Remove grids
grid(hm,'off'); % alternative: hm.GridVisible = 'off';
% Place lines around selected columns and row
% Assumes columns and rows are 1 unit in size!
col = [5, 8];
row = [1, 5, 9];
xline(ax, [col-.5, col+.5], 'k-'); % see footnotes [1,2]
yline(ax, [row-.5, row+.5], 'k-'); % see footnotes [1,2]
Footnotes
[1] For Matlab release prior to r2021a, use
arrayfun(@(x)xline(ax,x,'k-'),[col-.5, col+.5]);
arrayfun(@(x)yline(ax,x,'k-'),[row-.5, row+.5]);
[2] You may want to make the reference lines wider using
xline(ax, [col-.5, col+.5], 'k-', 'LineWidth',2)
yline(ax, [row-.5, row+.5], 'k-', 'LineWidth',2)
or fully opaque
xline(ax, [col-.5, col+.5], 'k-', 'Alpha', 1)
yline(ax, [row-.5, row+.5], 'k-', 'Alpha', 1)

> I should have mentioned in the original post, but I am using r2020b.
My solution works and has been tested in r2020b and r2021a as is indicated in the answer. For r2020b you'll need to use footnote [1].
Both of the error messages you shared clearly indicate what the problem is. The objects hm and fixMap were deleted. They no longer exist and aren't defined. Your implementation is different from the example in the answer.
> would the -.5 and +.5 manual calculations work for the categorical data?
The labels are categorical but the heatmap values and the underlying axes are numeric so yes, it will work.
col = 3;
row = 3;
This uses line widths of 5
