Usage

library(FlexDotPlot)

The FlexDotPlot package contains the following functions :

1- The dot_plot() function to generate dot plot with command line. Function help is available with help("dot_plot").

Have a look on the FlexDotPlot tutorial or on the scripts to reproduce the article figures to see how we can use this function in details.

2- The Shiny_dot_plot() function to generate dot plot in an interactive way with a Shiny application.

3- The rotate_dot_plot_dendrogram() function to rotate dendrograms from dot_plot outputs.
