二维数据着色是在二维中表示三维数据的有效媒介。这种“彩色网格”表示在生物科学中的使用越来越多（例如微阵列“热图”和生物活性数据），因为它们特别适合于复杂的数据集，并提供了传统统计软件包中包含的图形表示的替代方案。颜色网格的有效性在于它们的图形设计，它引入了可定制数据表示的标准。目前，能够生成有限颜色网格表示的软件应用程序只能在高级统计软件包或定制程序（例如微阵列分析工具）中找到，通常与陡峭的学习曲线相关，需要专业知识。在这里，我们描述JColorGrid，一个Java库和平台无关的应用程序，从数据渲染彩色网格图形。该软件可用作Java库、命令行应用程序、颜色网格参数界面和图形查看器应用程序。数据、标题和数据标签作为制表符分隔的文本文件或Microsoft Excel电子表格输入，颜色网格设置通过图形界面或文本配置文件指定。JColorGrid允许用户图形化数据探索，以及作为研究管道的一部分从数据自动渲染颜色网格的方法。该程序已在Windows、Mac和Linux操作系统上进行了测试，二进制可执行文件和源文件可从下载。
Two-dimensional data colourings are an effective medium by which to represent three-dimensional data in two dimensions. Such "color-grid" representations have found increasing use in the biological sciences (e.g. microarray 'heat maps' and bioactivity data) as they are particularly suited to complex data sets and offer an alternative to the graphical representations included in traditional statistical software packages. The effectiveness of color-grids lies in their graphical design, which introduces a standard for customizable data representation. Currently, software applications capable of generating limited color-grid representations can be found only in advanced statistical packages or custom programs (e.g. micro-array analysis tools), often associated with steep learning curves and requiring expert knowledge. Here we describe JColorGrid, a Java library and platform independent application that renders color-grid graphics from data. The software can be used as a Java library, as a command-line application, and as a color-grid parameter interface and graphical viewer application. Data, titles, and data labels are input as tab-delimited text files or Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and the color-grid settings are specified through the graphical interface or a text configuration file. JColorGrid allows both user graphical data exploration as well as a means of automatically rendering color-grids from data as part of research pipelines. The program has been tested on Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, and the binary executables and source files are available for download at .
