ClustVis
ClustVis is a powerful web-based tool that simplifies the creation of scatterplot and heatmap plots for high-dimensional data. The tool is designed to address the limitations of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method, which is widely used for reducing the dimensionality of high-dimensional data, but lacks an easy-to-use web interface that scientists with little programming skills could use to make plots of their own data. ClustVis is an excellent solution that allows users to upload data from a simple delimited text file that can be created in a spreadsheet program.
One of the most significant benefits of ClustVis is its intuitive user interface. Users can easily modify data processing methods and the final appearance of the plots by using drop-down menus, text boxes, sliders, and other user-friendly features. The tool offers various customization options that allow users to create visually appealing graphics that are easy to interpret.
ClustVis provides appropriate defaults to reduce the time needed by the user to specify input parameters, making it a valuable resource for scientists and researchers who need to generate scatterplots and heatmaps quickly.
