hc_points-HilbertCurve-method: Add points to the Hilbert curve

Description

Add points to the Hilbert curve

Usage

## S3 method for class 'HilbertCurve':
hc_points(object, ir, x1 = NULL, x2 = x1,
    np = max(c(2, 10 - hc_level(object))), size = unit(1, "char"),
    pch = 1, gp = gpar(), mean_mode = c("w0", "absolute", "weighted"),
    shape = "circle")

Arguments

object

A HilbertCurve-class object.

ir

an IRanges object which specifies the input intervals.

x1

if start positions are not integers, they can be set by x1.

x2

if end positions are not integers, they can be set by x2.

np

number of points (a circle or a square, ...) that are put in a segment. np controls the mode of how to add the points to the curve. See 'Details' section.

size

size of the points. It should be a unit object. Only works if np <= 1<="" code="">

pch

shape of points, used for points if np <= 1<="" code="">.

gp

graphic parameters for points. It should be specified by gpar.

mean_mode

when np >= 2, each segment on the curve is split into np windows and each window actually represents an small interval in the axis. When overlapping input intervals to the windows on the curve and when the window can not completely cover the input intervals, some averaging method should be applied to get a more accurate estimation for the value in the window. Here the HilbertCurve package provides three modes: "w0", "weighted" and "absolute" which calculate the mean value in the window with respect to different scenarios. See 'Details' section and the vignette for more informative explanation.

shape

shape of points, used for points if np >= 2. Possible values are "circle", "square", "triangle", "hexagon", "star".

Value

• A data frame which contains coordinates (in the 2D space) of points.

Details

If np is set to 1 or NULL, points will be added in the middle for each interval in ir (or x1, x2).

If np is set to a value larger or equal to 2, every segment on the curve is split by np points (e.g. circles). In this case, each point actually represent a window on the curve and when the window is not fully covered by the input intervals, there are three different metrics to average the values in the window.

Following illustrates different settings for mean_mode:

100 80 60 values in ir ++++++ +++ +++++ ir ================ window (width = 16) 4 3 3 overlap

absolute: (100 + 80 + 60)/3 weighted: (100*4 + 80*3 + 60*3)/(4 + 3 + 3) w0: (100*4 + 80*3 + 60*3 + 0*6)/16

So which mode to use depends on specific scenario. If the background is not of interest, absolute and weighted modes may be proper and if the value also needs to be averaged with background, w0 is the proper choice. Section "Averaging models" in the vignette gives a more detailed explanation for this argument.

If np >= 2, the value of np also controls the size of points.

Graphic parameters is always represented as numeric values (e.g. colors can be converted into numeric RGB values) and they will be averaged according to above rules.

Internally, it will depatch to hc_normal_points,HilbertCurve-method or hc_segmented_points,HilbertCurve-method depending on the value of np.

Examples

hc = HilbertCurve(1, 100, level = 4, reference = TRUE)

x = sort(sample(100, 20))
s = x[1:10*2 - 1]
e = x[1:10*2]
ir = IRanges(s, e)

hc_points(hc, ir)

hc = HilbertCurve(1, 100, level = 4, reference = TRUE)
hc_points(hc, x1 = c(1.5, 50.5), x2 = c(10.5, 60.5))

require(circlize)
value = runif(length(ir))
col_fun = colorRamp2(range(value), c("white", "red"))
hc = HilbertCurve(1, 100, level = 4, reference = TRUE)
hc_points(hc, ir, np = 3, shape = "star", gp = gpar(fill = col_fun(value)))

hc = HilbertCurve(1, 100, level = 4, reference = TRUE)
hc_points(hc, ir, np = 0)

hc = HilbertCurve(1, 100, level = 4, reference = TRUE)
hc_points(hc, np = 0, x1 = c(1.5, 50.5), x2 = c(10.5, 60.5))
hc_points(hc, np = 0, x1 = 70.5, gp = gpar(col = "red"))
