plot.LDmat:

Description

A function to visualize Linkage Disequilibrium estimates between adjacent markers or isualization 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

# S3 method for LDmat
plot(x, gpData, plotType = "map", dense = FALSE, 
                    nMarker = TRUE, centr = NULL, chr = NULL, 
                    file = NULL, fileFormat = "pdf", onefile = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x
Object of class LDmat, i.e the output of function pairwiseLD with argument type="matrix".
gpData
Object of class gpData with object map
plotType
You can decide, if you like to have a plot with the LD of the neighbouring markers (option "neighbour"), or you like to have a heatmap of the LD (default option "map").
dense
For plotType="neighbour", logical. Should density visualization for high-density genetic maps be used?
nMarker
For plotType="neighbour", logical. Print number of markers for each chromosome?
centr
For plotType="neighbour", numeric vector. Positions for the centromeres in the same order as chromosomes in map. If "maize", centromere positions of maize in Mbp are used.
chr
For plotType="map", numeric scalar or vector. Return value is a plot for each chromosome in chr. Note: Remember to add in a batch-script one empty line for each chromosome, if you use more than one chromosome!
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.
