plot.bio3d: Plots with marginal SSE annotation

Description

Draw a standard scatter plot with optional secondary structure in the marginal regions.

Usage

plotb3(x, resno = NULL, rm.gaps = FALSE, type = "h", main = "", sub = "", xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL, ylim2zero = TRUE, xlab = "Residue", ylab = NULL,  axes = TRUE, ann = par("ann"), col = par("col"), sse = NULL, sse.type="classic", sse.min.length=5, top = TRUE, bot = TRUE,  helix.col = "gray20", sheet.col = "gray80", sse.border = FALSE, ...)
             "plot"(...)

Arguments

x

a numeric vector of values to be plotted. Any reasonable way of defining these plot coordinates is acceptable. See the function ‘xy.coords’ for details.

resno

an optional vector with length equal to that of ‘x’ that will be used to annotate the xaxis. This is typically a vector of residue numbers. If NULL residue positions from 1 to the length of ‘x’ will be used. See examples below.

rm.gaps

logical, if TRUE gaps in x, indicated by NA values, will be removed from plot.

type

one-character string giving the type of plot desired. The following values are possible, (for details, see ‘plot’): ‘p’ for points, ‘l’ for lines, ‘o’ for over-plotted points and lines, ‘b’, ‘c’) for points joined by lines, ‘s’ and ‘S’ for stair steps and ‘h’ for histogram-like vertical lines. Finally, ‘n’ does not produce any points or lines.

main

a main title for the plot, see also ‘title’.

sub

a sub-title for the plot.

xlim

the x limits (x1,x2) of the plot. Note that x1 > x2 is allowed and leads to a reversed axis.

ylim

the y limits of the plot.

ylim2zero

logical, if TRUE the y-limits are forced to start at zero.

xlab

a label for the x axis, defaults to a description of ‘x’.

ylab

a label for the y axis, defaults to a description of ‘y’.

axes

a logical value indicating whether both axes should be drawn on the plot. Use graphical parameter ‘xaxt’ or ‘yaxt’ to suppress just one of the axes.

ann

a logical value indicating whether the default annotation (title and x and y axis labels) should appear on the plot.

col

The colors for lines and points. Multiple colors can be specified so that each point is given its own color. If there are fewer colors than points they are recycled in the standard fashion. Lines are plotted in the first color specified.

sse

secondary structure object as returned from dssp, stride or in certain cases read.pdb.

sse.type

single element character vector that determines the type of secondary structure annotation drawn. The following values are possible, ‘classic’ and ‘fancy’. See details and examples below.

sse.min.length

a single numeric value giving the length below which secondary structure elements will not be drawn. This is useful for the exclusion of short helix and strand regions that can often crowd these forms of plots.

top

logical, if TRUE rectangles for each sse are drawn towards the top of the plotting region.

bot

logical, if TRUE rectangles for each sse are drawn towards the bottom of the plotting region.

helix.col

The colors for rectangles representing alpha helices.

sheet.col

The colors for rectangles representing beta strands.

sse.border

The border color for all sse rectangles.

...

other graphical parameters.

Value

Called for its effect.

Details

This function is useful for plotting per-residue numeric vectors for a given protein structure (e.g. results from RMSF, PCA, NMA etc.) along with a schematic representation of major secondary structure elements.

Two forms of secondary structure annotation are available: so called ‘classic’ and ‘fancy’. The former draws marginal rectangles and has been available within Bio3D from version 0.1. The later draws more ‘fancy’ (and distracting) 3D like helices and arrowed strands. See the functions ‘plot.default’, dssp and stride for further details.
