## Function to visualise promoter capture HiC data using different network layouts

### Description

`xPCHiCplot` is supposed to visualise promoter capture HiC data using different network layouts.

### Usage

    xPCHiCplot(g, node.info = c("smart", "none", "GR", "GR_SNP",
    "GR_SNP_target",
    "SNP_target"), node.colors = c("skyblue", "pink1"), nodes.query = NULL,
    newpage = TRUE, signature = TRUE, glayout = layout_with_kk,
    vertex.frame.color = NA, vertex.size = NULL, vertex.color = NULL,
    vertex.shape = "sphere", vertex.label = NULL, vertex.label.cex = NULL,
    vertex.label.font = 2, vertex.label.dist = 0.3,
    vertex.label.color = "black", edge.arrow.size = 0.5, edge.width = NULL,
    edge.color = "grey", ...)

### Arguments

`g` | an object of both classes "igraph" and "PCHiC" (part of the results from `xSNPhic`)
`node.info` | tells the information used to label nodes. It can be one of "none" for no node labeling, "GR" for only using genomic regions (GR), "GR_SNP" for using GR and SNP (if any), "GR_SNP_target" for using GR and SNP (if any) and target genes (if any), "SNP_target" for using SNP (if any) and target genes (if any), and "smart" (by default) for only using GR if both SNP and target genes are not available (otherwise GR will be hidden)
`node.colors` | colors used to flag which nodes contain SNP or not. By default, a node harboring an SNP will be colored in 'skyblue' and the node without an SNP in 'pink'
`nodes.query` | nodes in query for which edges attached to them will be displayed. By default, it sets to NULL meaning no such restriction
`newpage` | logical to indicate whether to open a new page. By default, it sets to true for opening a new page
`signature` | logical to indicate whether the signature is assigned to the plot caption. By default, it sets TRUE
`glayout` | either a function or a numeric matrix configuring how the vertices will be placed on the plot. If layout is a function, this function will be called with the graph as the single parameter to determine the actual coordinates. This function can be one of "layout_nicely" (previously "layout.auto"), "layout_randomly" (previously "layout.random"), "layout_in_circle" (previously "layout.circle"), "layout_on_sphere" (previously "layout.sphere"), "layout_with_fr" (previously "layout.fruchterman.reingold"), "layout_with_kk" (previously "layout.kamada.kawai"), "layout_as_tree" (previously "layout.reingold.tilford"), "layout_with_lgl" (previously "layout.lgl"), "layout_with_graphopt" (previously "layout.graphopt"), "layout_with_sugiyama" (previously "layout.kamada.kawai"), "layout_with_dh" (previously "layout.davidson.harel"), "layout_with_drl" (previously "layout.drl"), "layout_with_gem" (previously "layout.gem"), "layout_with_mds". A full explanation of these layouts can be found in http://igraph.org/r/doc/layout_nicely.html
`vertex.frame.color` | the color of the frame of the vertices. If it is NA, then there is no frame
`vertex.size` | the size of each vertex. If it is a vector, each vertex may differ in size
`vertex.color` | the fill color of the vertices. If it is NA, then there is no fill color
`vertex.shape` | the shape of each vertex. It can be one of "circle", "square", "csquare", "rectangle", "crectangle", "vrectangle", "pie" (http://igraph.org/r/doc/vertex.shape.pie.html), "sphere", and "none"
`vertex.label` | the label of the vertices. If it is NA, then there is no label. The default vertex labels are the name attribute of the nodes
`vertex.label.cex` | the font size of vertex labels.
`vertex.label.font` | the font of vertex labels. It is interpreted the same way as the the 'font' graphical parameter: 1 is plain text, 2 is bold face, 3 is italic, 4 is bold and italic and 5 specifies the symbol font.
`vertex.label.dist` | the distance of the label from the center of the vertex. If it is 0 then the label is centered on the vertex. If it is 1 then the label is displayed beside the vertex.
`vertex.label.color` | the color of vertex labels.
`edge.arrow.size` | the size of the arrows for the directed edge. The default value is 0.5.
`edge.width` | the width of the directed edge. If NULL, the width edge is proportional to CHiCAGO scores (quantifying the strength of physical interactions).
`edge.color` | the color of the directed edge. The default value is 'grey'.
`...` | additional graphic parameters. See http://igraph.org/r/doc/plot.common.html for the complete list.

### Value

an igraph object

### Note

- `edge arrow`: interactions are represented as a direct graph (bait-prey)

- `edge thickness`: the thickness in an edge is proportional to the interaction strength

- `node color`: a node is colored in pink if it harbors SNPs in query; otherwise skyblue

- `node label`: a node is labelled with three pieces of information (if any): genomic regions, SNPs in query, genes associated (marked by an @ icon)
