Aligning tree with other ggplot2 about ggtree

[GuangchuangYu]

same issue as in issue 3, gridExtra can not arrange them properly. This is the reason why I need to develop gheatmap function.

The gheatmap function is great for aligning a 'data' with the tree. However, my graph is a ggplot so the gheatmap function does not recognize it. In issue 3, the problem seemed to be aligning a "heatmap."

I hope this helps and that this is not just me being incapable of writing the code correctly. I looked at the vignette many times but could not figure it out. Please advise how I could use the gheatmap function to align my ggplot with my tree.

Thank you for your patience! I appreciate your time in helping me out!

In issue 3, the issue is using grid.arrange can't align a ggplot object (heatmap) with a tree.

AND gheatmap is designed to align heatmap with a tree. It can't work with a ggplot object.

I see, thank you very much again for your response. I saw a request for ggplot2 two to develop a function that will do just that. I hope this development will happen in the near future.

I think gtable can help. I will look into it when I have some free time.

It would be great if we can work out a way more general than gheatmap.

Thanks so much, I will look into using gtable but a lot of learning has to take place on my part first. I agree, it would be great to get a more general function because these sort of figure are helpful!
