Re: [R] Re : Half of a heatmap I have correlation values between -1 and 1 and I need to keep the sign.

Just for the record, LDheatmap can display any upper-triangular matrix of
measures between 0 and 1, not just LD measures. Users with their own matrix
should pass it as the first argument (gdat) to the function.
