makeBoxplotPerPlate: Generate a boxplot of the data per plate

In RNAither: Statistical analysis of high-throughput RNAi screens

Description

Generates a boxplot of intensity values per plate for each experiment available in the dataset.

Usage

makeBoxplotPerPlate(header, dataset, channel, plotTitle, plotDesign, showPlot)

Arguments

header	the header of a dataset file generated with generateDatasetFile
dataset	an R data frame generated with generateDatasetFile
channel	a character string specifying the column whose values will be used for the boxplot
plotTitle	the plot title
plotDesign	1 or 2. 1 will generate one window containing all plots, 2 will generate a series of plots.
showPlot	0 or 1. 1 will open one or several plot windows in the R GUI, 0 will only save the plot(s) without opening windows.

Value

For each experiment, a boxplot of intensity values per plate will be saved as a pdf and a png file named after the experiment name specified in the header concatenated with the plotTitle.

The function returns a list containing:

plotName	the plotname
minOfScreens	the number of the first experiment
numOfScreens	the number of the last experiment
