#' Plot a mutation matrix as a heatmap
#'
#' Function to plot a SNV mutation matrix as a heatmap.
#' This is especially useful when looking at a wide mutational context.
#'
#'
#' @param mut_matrix Matrix containing mutation counts.
#' @param by Optional grouping variable
#' @param max Maximum value used for plotting the relative contributions.
#'   Contributions that are higher will have the maximum colour. (Default: 0.02)
#' @param condensed More condensed plotting format. Default = F.
#' 
#' @return A ggplot object
#' @export
#' @importFrom magrittr %>%

#' ## Get regular matrix

#'   package = "MutationalPatterns"
#' ))
#'
#' ## Create heatmap of profile
#' plot_profile_heatmap(mut_mat, max = 0.1)
#'
#' ## Get extended matrix
#' mut_mat_extended <- readRDS(system.file("states/mut_mat_data_extended.rds",
#'   package = "MutationalPatterns"
#' ))
#'
#' ## Create heatmap of extended profile
#' plot_profile_heatmap(mut_mat_extended)

#' ## Or plot heatmap per tissue
#' tissue <- c(
