cim()

The cim() function generates heatmaps to visualise patterns in a single dataset or correlations between two datasets. It applies hierarchical clustering to rows and columns, displaying results as a color-coded grid with dendrograms indicating relationships. This method complements plotVar() and network(), helping to uncover variable associations and dataset similarities.
