I have successfully used gnuplot to generate a heatmap representation of
a 26x26 table. I am now investigating how to do it with Stata, and it
seems that Adrian Mander's plotmatrix is the obvious option.
I have examples of each approach at
http://teaching.sociology.ul.ie/bhalpin/heatmaps.html
The results are functionally equivalent except that plotmatrix seems to
be resolutely monochrome, and is less willing to label all 26 rows or
columns.
Colour is the main sticking point for me. gnuplot provides a flexible
way of defining multi-dimensional palettes, but plotmatrix seems to work
only in monochrome. Is there any way around this?
Regards,
Brendan
