#' Plot heatmap of group-level expression averages
#'
#' Create a heatmap of average expression values for each group of cells and specified features in a SingleCellExperiment object.
#'
#' @inheritParams plotHeatmap
#' @param columns A vector specifying the subset of columns in \code{object} to use when computing averages.
#' @param center A logical scalar indicating whether each feature should have its mean expression 
#' (specifically, the mean of averages across all groups) centered at zero prior to plotting. 
#' @param scale A logical scalar specifying whether each row should have its
#' average expression values scaled to unit variance prior to plotting.
#' @param ... Additional arguments to pass to \code{\link[pheatmap]{pheatmap}}.
#' @param group String specifying the field of \code{\link{colData}(object)} containing the grouping factor, e.g., cell types or clusters.
#' Alternatively, any value that can be used in the \code{by} argument to \code{\link{retrieveCellInfo}}.
#' @param block String specifying the field of \code{\link{colData}(object)} containing a blocking factor (e.g., batch of origin).
#' Alternatively, any value that can be used in the \code{by} argument to \code{\link{retrieveCellInfo}}.
#' @param color Alias to \code{colour}.
#' @details 
#' This function shows the average expression values for each group of cells on a heatmap, as defined using the \code{group} factor.
#' A per-group visualization can be preferable to a per-cell visualization when dealing with large number of cells or groups with different size.
#' If \code{block} is also specified, the block effect is regressed out of the averages with \code{\link{correctGroupSummary}} prior to visualization.
#'
#' Setting \code{center=TRUE} is useful for examining log-fold changes of each group's expression profile from the average across all groups.
#' This avoids issues with the entire row appearing a certain colour because the gene is highly/lowly expressed across all cells.
#'
#' Setting \code{zlim} preserves the dynamic range of colours in the presence of outliers. 
#' Otherwise, the plot may be dominated by a few genes, which will \dQuote{flatten} the observed colours for the rest of the heatmap.
#'
##' @return A heatmap is produced on the current graphics device. 
#' The output of \code{\link[pheatmap]{pheatmap}} is invisibly returned.
#'
#' @seealso \code{\link[pheatmap]{pheatmap}}, for the underlying function.
