Alternatives to cluster heatmaps. We used these 5 alternatives (in addition to cluster heatmaps) in our final study. All five alternatives depicted here are for the same dataset. From left to right: (a) gapmap [11, 17] (b) circle packing [24], (c) sunburst [21], (d) radial dendrogram, and (e) force-directed tree [20]. Leaf nodes are filled to indicate the original value from the data matrix using the PRGn ColorBrewer scheme [66]. Positive values are green in color, and negative values are purple in color. The root node, if depicted, is indicated by a black outline. Inner nodes have no fill color and a gray outline. Edge tapering is used to indicate parent-child relationships in the node-link diagrams [37]
