flowViz (version 1.30.1)

plot-methods: Very basic plotting of flowFrames

Description

A basic method to plot flowFrame objects. Depending on the number of dimensions, different types of plots are generates. See below for details.

Methods

x = "flowFrame", y = "ANY"

We decide on the number of parameters in the flowFrame which plot type to use.

x = "flowFrame", y = "missing"

see above

x = "flowFrame", y = "character"

The parameters to plot are given as a second argument in the form of a character vector.

Details

Basic plots for flowFrame objects. If the object has only a single parameter this produces a histogram. For exactly two parameters we plot a bivariate density map (see smoothScatter) and for more than two parameters we produce a simple splom plot. To select specific parameters from a flowFrame for plotting, either subset the object or specify the parameters as a character vector in the second argument to plot. The smooth parameters lets you toggle between density-type smoothScatter plots and regular scatter or pairs plots. For far more sophisticated plotting of flow cytometry data, see the lattice-style plot methods provided by this package.
