1 check data format

Before uploading a data file, check the samples gallery to make sure that your data format is compatible.

• Your file must be plain text.
• Your data values must be non-negative integers.
• Data must be space-separated (one or more tab or space).
• Maximum number of rows/cols is 15.
• No two rows or two columns may have the same name.
• Due to laziness on my part, things look best when rows/columns have a one character name (e.g. A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, ...).

2a upload your file

If you are using the size, order or color options below, make sure your input file has the appropriate content (see samples 5-9).

2b try random data

Don't have a data file? No problem, try our random data generator. Adjust the settings and see how the figure changes.
