ax: Draw Pretty Axes (legacy base graphics)

In rogerswt/wadeTools: Wade's Hodgepodge of Flow Cytometry Functions

Draw Pretty Axes (legacy base graphics)

Description

Draw axes for biexp, log or linear transformations.

Usage

ax(
  axis = 1,
  type = c("biexp", "asinh", "log", "linear", "none"),
  max_channel = 262143,
  ticksize = 2,
  ...
)

Arguments

axis	Which axis to draw (1 = x, 2 = y)
type	Type of transformation (one of "biexp", "log", "linear")
max_channel	The maximum value that the flow cytometer can generate. For most BD instruments which have 18-bit A-D converters, that number is (2 ^ 8 - 1), or 262143
ticksize	How big the tick marks should be (in relative coordinates)
...	Additional graphical parameters to pass to axis

Details

This function is used by pplot, and only works with methods in the standard R graphics package. You can use it yourself for figures you generate that use one of these transformations. To do so, first generate a plot, and suppress the appropriate axis, e.g. ..., xaxt = 'n', ....

Examples

# create an empty plot with suitable ranges
plot (0, 0, pch = '', xlim = c(0, 5.4), ylim = c(0, 5.4),
      xaxt = 'n', yaxt = 'n',
      xlab = 'biexponential', ylab = 'logarithmic')
# add the axes
ax(axis = 1, type = 'biexp')
ax(axis = 2, type = 'log')
