RCircos.Ribbon.Plot: Draw Ribbon between Two Genomic Regions

In RCircos: Circos 2D Track Plot

Draw Ribbon between Two Genomic Regions

Description

Draw various ribbons instead of lines with uniform thickness. The thickness of ribbons are relative to the size of the genomic regions to be linked.

Usage

RCircos.Ribbon.Plot(ribbon.data=NULL, track.num=NULL, 
    by.chromosome=FALSE, twist=FALSE, start.pos=NULL, 
    genomic.columns=3, is.sorted=TRUE)

Arguments

ribbon.data	A data frame with paired genomic positions in each row. The first three columns of each row are for chromosome name, start and end positions of one genomic position followed by three columns for chromosome name, start and end positions of the second genomic position.
track.num	Non negative-integer, representing the ordinal number of the plot track where the ribbons will start.
by.chromosome	Logic, If true, red color will be used for ribbons between positions of same chromosomes and blue color for ribbons between different chromosomes. Otherwise, different colors will be automatically assigned for each ribbon.
twist	Logic, TRUE for the ribbons with twisted shape and FALSE for no twist.
start.pos	Non-negative numeric, scale factor relative to chromosome ideogram position. Must be smaller than 1.
genomic.columns	Non-negative integer, total number of columns for genomic position in each row. Must be either 3 or 2.
is.sorted	Logic, whether the data is sorted by chromosome names and start positions.
