Box plots of columns in a matrix

Description

Box plots of the columns of a matrix, but the columns are ordered and colored by a group-level variable

Usage

matboxplot(
  object,
  groupFactor,
  las = 3,
  brewer.n = 8,
  brewer.name = "Dark2",
  ...
)

Arguments

object

object an object which is inherited from an eSet such as an ExpressionSet or MethylSet object. The object can also be a data frame or matrix with observations (e.g. probes or genes) on the rows and samples as the columns.

groupFactor

a factor variable representing which group each column in object belongs to. It is important that values in groupFactor be in the same order as the columns in object.

las

a numeric in (0, 1, 2, 3) to orient the axis labels. Default is 3 (always vertical).

brewer.n

...

other arguments that can be passed to the codeboxplot function.

Value

A box plot for each column in object

library(minfi)
data(flowSorted)

p <- getBeta(flowSorted, offset = 100)
pd <- pData(flowSorted)
matboxplot(object = p, groupFactor = pd$CellType)
