Hello: I have a tab delim file with 100 rows and 100 columns.
I have numerical values in this table. What I want is to create an image color map with color gradation. my values range from -5 to 0. max value is 0. to acheive this, I need to convert my data.frame into matrix. I tried following : mydf <- read.table('mytable',sep='\t',header=T) mydf1 <- mydf[,2:100] colnames(mydf1) <- as.character(mydf[,1]) here comes the trouble: mymat <- as.matrix(mydf1) -- numerical values become character values. -1 becomes "-1" mymat <- data.matrix(mydf1) -- whole matrix is filled with 1,2 and 3. Is there any other way I can do this. say row names are city schools colnames are student names appreciate your help.
