flowViz (version 1.36.2)

plot: 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.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'flowFrame,missing':
plot(x, y, smooth = TRUE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'flowFrame,character':
plot(x, y, smooth = TRUE, pch, ...)

Arguments

x

flowFrame

y

(optional) channel names

smooth

logical

...

other arguments

pch

point type

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.
