plotdensity.FCS {rflowcyt}R Documentation

Create density plots one parameter of one (or more) FCS object(s)

Description

Produce density plot(s) using the density.lf function of the locfit library. a single column variable specified from the data of one (or more) FCS object(s).

Usage

plotdensity.FCS(data,varpos, groups, xlab, ylab, col, xlim = NULL, ylim =
NULL, main=NULL,...)        

Arguments

data a list of one (or more) FCS object(s) or a cytoSet object
varpos the numerical column variable position of the data of the FCS object
groups a variable or expression to be evaluated in the data frame specified by 'data', expected to act as a grouping variable within each panel, typically used to distinguish different groups by varying graphical parameters like color and line type
xlab a title for the x axis
ylab a title for the y axis
col The colors for lines and points. Multiple colors can be specified so that each point can be given its own color. If there are fewer colors than points they are recycled in the standard fashion. Lines will all be plotted in the first colour specified.
xlim limits for the x axis
ylim limits for the y axis
main title of the plot
... any other arguments are passed to the plot function

Details

Produce density plot(s) using the density.lf function of the locfit library. Other options from the functions plot.

Value
