  hm1,
  hm2,
  pos = "horizontal",
  legend_action = NULL,
  tag_level = "new"
)

Arguments

hm1

first heatmap

hm2

second heatmap (if pos='top' or pos='bottom') or rows (if pos='left') with the heatmap. Note: to create the gplot, make sure you use gghmData() to get the data, or alternatively get_rowLevels() or get_colLevels().

pos

'vertical' or 'horizontal', by default the best option. of the height (if pos='top' or pos='bottom') or width (if pos='left') that the new plot will occupy in the panel.

legend_action

A string specifying how guides should be treated in the layout. See: guides in patchwork::plot_layout().

tag_level

A string ('keep' or 'new') to indicate how auto-tagging should behave. See patchwork::plot_annotation.
