cnFreq: Construct copy-number frequency plot
In GenVisR: Genomic Visualizations in R

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

Given a data frame construct a plot to display copy number changes across the genome for a group of samples.

cnFreq(
  x,
  CN_low_cutoff = 1.5,
  CN_high_cutoff = 2.5,
  plot_title = NULL,
  CN_Loss_colour = "#002EB8",
  CN_Gain_colour = "#A30000",
  x_title_size = 12,
  y_title_size = 12,
  facet_lab_size = 10,
  plotLayer = NULL,
  plotType = "proportion",
  genome = "hg19",
  plotChr = NULL,
  out = "plot"
)

`x`	Object of class data frame with rows representing genomic segments. The data frame must contain columns with the following names "chromosome", "start", "end", "segmean", and "sample". Coordinates should be 1-based space.
`CN_low_cutoff`	Numeric value representing the point at or below which copy number alterations are considered losses. Only used if x represents CN values.
`CN_high_cutoff`	Numeric value representing the point at or above which copy number alterations are considered gains. Only used if x represents CN values.
`plot_title`	Character string specifying the title to display on the plot.
`CN_Loss_colour`	Character string specifying the colour value for copy number losses.
`CN_Gain_colour`	Character string specifying the colour value for copy number gains.
`x_title_size`	Integer specifying the size of the x-axis title.
`y_title_size`	Integer specifying the size of the y-axis title.
`facet_lab_size`	Integer specifying the size of the faceted labels plotted.
`plotLayer`	Valid ggplot2 layer to be added to the plot.
`plotType`	Character string specifying the type of values to plot. One of "proportion" or "frequency"
`genome`	Character string specifying a valid UCSC genome (see details).
`plotChr`	Character vector specifying specific chromosomes to plot, if NULL all chromosomes for the genome selected are displayed.
`out`	Character vector specifying the the object to output, one of "data", "grob", or "plot", defaults to "plot" (see returns).

cnFreq requires the location of chromosome boundaries for a given genome assembly in order to ensure the entire chromosome space is plotted. As a convenience this information is available to cnSpec for the following genomes "hg19", "hg38", "mm9", "mm10", "rn5" and can be retrieved by supplying one of the afore mentioned assemblies via the 'genome' parameter. If a genome assembly is supplied to the 'genome' parameter and is unrecognized cnSpec will attempt to query the UCSC MySQL database for the required information. If genomic segments are not identical across all samples the algorithm will attempt to perform a disjoin operation splitting existing segments such that there are no overlaps. The 'plotLayer' parameter can be used to add an additional layer to the ggplot2 graphic (see vignette).

One of the following, a dataframe containing data to be plotted, a grob object, or a plot.
