Hello,

I am trying to make a heatmap. The dataframe I am using for heatmap is present in A.

Then, I assigned first and fourth columns to rownames using this code:

s = df %>%
  tidyr::unite(rowname, geneid, SYMBOL) %>%
  tibble::column_to_rownames()

The result is shown as (B).

Subsequently, I run this code for plotting heatmap:

as.matrix(s)
color_fun <- colorRamp2(c(-4, 0, 4), c("red", "black", "green"))

Heatmap(s,
        col = color_fun,
        name = "Log2FC",
        row_names_side = "left",
        show_row_names = T,
        show_column_names = F,
        cluster_rows = T,
        cluster_columns = F,
        show_row_dend = F,
        row_names_gp = gpar(fontsize=10),
        width = unit(4, "cm"),
        )

The result is shown as C. But, as you can see in C. the rownames looks very complicated since geneid and symbol is not well separated each other. I would like to make rownames well clear for readers. Is there any code to cope with this issue?

Thank you
