synbreed (version 0.12-6)

LDMap:

Description

Visualization of pairwise Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) estimates generated by function pairwiseLD in a LD heatmap for each chromosome using the LDheatmap package (Shin et al, 2006) .

Usage

LDMap(LDmat,gpData,chr=NULL,file=NULL,fileFormat="pdf",onefile=TRUE,...)

Arguments

LDmat

Object of class LDmat generated by function pairwiseLD and argument type="matrix"

gpData

Object of class gpData that was used in pairwiseLD

chr

numeric. Return value is a plot for each chromosome in chr.

file

Optionally a path to a file where the plot is saved to

fileFormat

character. At the moment two file formats are supported: pdf and png. Default is "pdf".

onefile

logical. If fileFormat = "pdf" you can decide, if you like to have all graphics in one file or in multiple files.

…

Further arguments that could be passed to function LDheatmap

Details

Note: If you have an LDmat-object with more than one chromosome and you like to plot all chromosomes, you need to put an empty line for each chromosome in your script after the LDMap function!
