Converting python objects for rpy2
- by bgbg
The following code is supposed to created a heatmap in rpy2
import numpy as np
from rpy2.robjects import r
data = np.random.random((10,10))
r.heatmap(data)
However, it results in the following error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "z.py", line 8, in <module>
labRow=rowNames, labCol=colNames)
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\rpy2\robjects\__init__.py", line 418, in __call__
new_args = [conversion.py2ri(a) for a in args]
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\rpy2\robjects\__init__.py", line 93, in default_py2ri
raise(ValueError("Nothing can be done for the type %s at the moment." %(type(o))))
ValueError: Nothing can be done for the type <type 'numpy.ndarray'> at the moment.
From the documentation I learn that r.heatmap expects "a numeric matrix". How do I convert np.array to the required data type?
