plotBar {RNAither}R Documentation

Plot signal intensities per well

Description

Plots signal intensity values for each well, a blue line showing the median, two green lines showing one median absolute deviation, two red lines showing two median absolute deviations.

Usage

plotBar(header, dataset, col4val, flag, plotTitle, showPlot)

Arguments

header the header of a dataset file generated with generateDatasetFile
dataset an R data frame generated with generateDatasetFile
col4val a character string specifying the column whose intensity values will be used for the plot
flag 0, 1, or 2. 0 uses the data from the complete dataset, 1 generates one plot for each experiment, 2 generates one plot for each plate.
plotTitle the plot title
showPlot 0 or 1. 1 will open one or several plot windows in the R GUI, 0 will only save the plot(s) without opening windows.

Value

Saves the plots in pdf and png files named after the experiment name specified in the header concatenated with the plotTitle and if applicable the experiment number and/or the plate number.
When flag == 0, returns the plot name (plotName).
When flag == 1, returns a list containing:

plotName The plot name
minOfScreens The number of the first experiment
numOfScreens The number of the last experiment

When flag == 2, returns a list containing: the plot name, a vector with the number of the first experiment and of the last experiment, and a vector with the number of the first plate and the number of the last plate.
