Heatmap generator

Upload a data matrix and get a clean, clustered heatmap — correlation matrices, gene-expression maps, and more — rendered with matplotlib/seaborn and exportable for journals.

Why use it

Clustering done right

Add hierarchical row/column clustering, dendrograms, and z-score normalization without writing any seaborn code.

Real plotting engine

MindPlot writes and runs actual matplotlib/seaborn code, so your heatmap is reproducible and styled to journal standards, not a screenshot.

Export for submission

Download editable SVG or high-DPI PDF/PNG/EPS that meets figure requirements.

How it works

1

Upload your matrix

Drop in a CSV of values — a correlation matrix, an expression table, or any numeric grid.

2

Describe the heatmap

Ask for clustering, a colour scale, normalization, or annotations in plain language.

3

Export the figure

Download a publication-ready SVG/PDF, or refine the palette and labels first.

What you can do with it

Gene-expression heatmaps

Show expression across samples with clustered rows and columns.

Correlation matrices

Visualize pairwise correlations across many variables at a glance.

Confusion matrices

Present classifier performance as a clean, labelled grid.

Frequently asked questions

What data do I need for a heatmap?

A numeric matrix in CSV form — for example a gene-by-sample expression table or a correlation matrix. Row and column labels are used automatically.

Can I add clustering?

Yes — add hierarchical clustering with dendrograms on rows, columns, or both, plus z-score normalization.

Is the figure publication-ready?

Yes — it is rendered with matplotlib/seaborn using journal-grade styling and exports editable SVG and high-DPI PDF/PNG/EPS.

Do I need to code?

No — describe the heatmap in plain language and MindPlot writes and runs the plotting code for you.
