Arguments

sample	Seurat | A Seurat object, generated by CreateSeuratObject.
features	character | Features to represent.
group.by	character | Metadata variable to group the output by. Has to be a character of factor column.
assay	character | Assay to use. Defaults to the current assay.
cluster	logical | Whether to perform clustering of rows and columns.
features.order	character | Should the gene sets be ordered in a specific way? Provide it as a vector of characters with the same names as the names of the gene sets.
groups.order	named_list | Should the groups in theheatmaps be ordered in a specific way? Provide it as a named list (as many lists as values in group.by) with the order for each of the elements in the groups.
slot	character | Data slot to use. Only one of: counts, data, scale.data. Defaults to "data".
legend.title	character | Title for the legend.
na.value	character | Color value for NA.
legend.position	character | Position of the legend in the plot. One of: top: Top of the figure. bottom: Bottom of the figure. left: Left of the figure. right: Right of the figure. none: No legend is displayed.
legend.length, legend.width	numeric | Length and width of the legend. Will adjust automatically depending on legend side.
legend.framewidth, legend.tickwidth	numeric | Width of the lines of the box in the legend.
legend.framecolor	character | Color of the lines of the box in the legend.
legend.tickcolor	character | Color of the ticks of the box in the legend.
legend.type	character | Type of legend to display. One of: normal: Default legend displayed by ggplot2. colorbar: Redefined colorbar legend, using guide_colorbar.
font.size	numeric | Overall font size of the plot. All plot elements will have a size relationship with this font size.
font.type	character | Base font family for the plot. One of: mono: Mono spaced font. serif: Serif font family. sans: Default font family.
axis.text.x.angle	numeric | Degree to rotate the X labels. One of: 0, 45, 90.
enforce_symmetry	logical | Return a symmetrical plot axes-wise or continuous color scale-wise, when applicable.
min.cutoff, max.cutoff	numeric | Set the min/max ends of the color scale. Any cell/group with a value lower than min.cutoff will turn into min.cutoff and any cell with a value higher than max.cutoff will turn into max.cutoff. In FeaturePlots, provide as many values as features. Use NAs to skip a feature.
diverging.palette	character | Type of symmetrical color palette to use. Out of the diverging palettes defined in brewer.pal.
diverging.direction	numeric | Either 1 or -1. Direction of the divering palette. This basically flips the two ends.
sequential.palette	character | Type of sequential color palette to use. Out of the sequential palettes defined in brewer.pal.
sequential.direction	numeric | Direction of the sequential color scale. Either 1 or -1.
number.breaks	numeric | Controls the number of breaks in continuous color scales of ggplot2-based plots.
use_viridis	logical | Whether to use viridis color scales.
viridis.palette	character | A capital letter from A to H or the scale name as in scale_fill_viridis.
viridis.direction	numeric | Either 1 or -1. Controls how the gradient of viridis scale is formed.
flip	logical | Whether to invert the axis of the displayed plot.
grid.color	character | Color of the grid in the plot. In heatmaps, color of the border of the cells.
border.color	character | Color for the border of the heatmap body.
plot.title.face, plot.subtitle.face, plot.caption.face, axis.title.face, axis.text.face, legend.title.face, legend.text.face	character | Controls the style of the font for the corresponding theme element. One of: plain: For normal text. italic: For text in itallic. bold: For text in bold. bold.italic: For text both in itallic and bold.

Value

A ggplot2 object.
