Per-column tick labels in computeMatrix output?

[dpryan79]

This is only relevant since the advent of computeMatrixOperations. Now that one can cbind different matrices, it's possible to have things like scale-regions and reference-point in the same plot. However, the ticks and labels are completely screwed up then. This is due to the whole matrix having a single set of labels/positions. An alternative to this would be to have a list of labels and positions that could repeat per-column. This would allow better mixing and matching of these. Implementing this might be a bit annoying due to backward compatibility, though if we make a new major release I'm not completely sold on having to care about that.

good point.. I haven't seen how bad it looks but might be a useful fix

Tested:

• computeMatrix
  • scale-region
  • reference-point
• computeMatrixOperations
  • cbind
  • subset
• plotHeatmap
  • old format
    • normal
    • plotly
  • new format
    • normal
    • plotly
  • mixed scale-region/reference-point
    • normal
    • plotly
• plotProfile
  • old format
    • normal
    • plotly
  • new format
    • normal
    • plotly
  • mixed scale-region/reference-point
    • normal
    • plotly
• Tests updated to be correct (and all pass)
• Document this under advanced features

I'm running into a but introduced in matplotlib-2.1.1 at the moment, it looks like we have to skip that release.

This is now merged into develop.
