Dear All,

I want to plot a heatmap with R, but my data  distributed unevenly, for
example, my data range from 10 to 1500, but most of the data smaller than
200, when I plot a heatmap, the colour is also distributed unevenly, most
part of the heatmap is one colour, so the heatmap is ugly and meaningless.

So can anybody help me plot a pretty heatmap for me with the attached data.
I am looking forward your reply! Thansk very much.


Best Regards.
Wei Liu.
