| boxplot.FCS {rflowcyt} | R Documentation |
Produce box-and-whisker plot(s) of a single column variable specified from the data of one (or more) FCS object(s).
boxplot.FCS(x, varpos=c(1),...)
x |
a list of one (or more) FCS object(s) or a cytoSet object |
varpos |
the numerical column variable position of the data of the FCS object |
... |
any other arguments are passed to the boxplot
function |
If several FCS objects are supplied parallel boxplots will be
plotted.
Other options from the functions plot,
boxplot.
The boxplot will output a list with the following components:
stats |
|
n |
|
conf |
|
out |
|
group |
|
names |
a vector of names for the groups

## Example I:
require(rfcdmin)
data(flowcyt.data)
## Draw a boxplot for the Foward SCatter parameter for the time points 1
## and 6 (in this experiment, each time point corresponds to a column of
## a 96 wells plates)
mat <- matrix(c(1:2),1,2,byrow=TRUE)
nf <- layout(mat,respect=TRUE)
boxplot.FCS(flowcyt.data[1:8],varpos=c(1),col=c(1:8),main="FSC across stains time point 1",names=paste("stain",c(1:8),sep=""))
boxplot.FCS(flowcyt.data[65:72],varpos=c(1),col=c(1:8),main="FSC across stains time point 9",names=paste("stain",c(1:8),sep=""))
##Example II:
## Read a serie of FCS files
if (require(rfcdmin)) {
##obtaining the location of the fcs files in the data
pathFiles<-system.file("bccrc", package="rfcdmin")
drugFiles<-dir(pathFiles)
## reading in the FCS files
drugData<-read.series.FCS(drugFiles,path=pathFiles,MY.DEBUG=FALSE)
}
##Draw a boxplot for the Foward SCatter parameter
##for the differents aliquots (of the same cell line)
##tested with different compounds.
boxplot.FCS(drugData,varpos=c(1),col=c(1:8),main="FSC of differents aliquots from the same cell line treated with different compounds.")
