plot: Very basic plotting of flowFrames

In flowViz: Visualization for flow cytometry

Description

A basic method to plot flowFrame objects. Depending on the number of dimensions, different types of plots are generates. See below for details.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'flowFrame,missing'
plot(x, y, smooth = TRUE, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'flowFrame,character'
plot(x, y, smooth = TRUE, pch, ...)

Arguments

x	flowFrame
y	(optional) channel names
smooth	logical
...	other arguments
pch	point type

Details

Basic plots for flowFrame objects. If the object has only a single parameter this produces a histogram. For exactly two parameters we plot a bivariate density map (see smoothScatter) and for more than two parameters we produce a simple splom plot. To select specific parameters from a flowFrame for plotting, either subset the object or specify the parameters as a character vector in the second argument to plot. The smooth parameters lets you toggle between density-type smoothScatter plots and regular scatter or pairs plots. For far more sophisticated plotting of flow cytometry data, see the lattice-style plot methods provided by this package.
