circos.points: Add points to a plotting region

In circlize: Circular Visualization

Add points to a plotting region

Description

Add points to a plotting region

Usage

circos.points(
    x, y,
    sector.index = get.current.sector.index(),
    track.index = get.current.track.index(),
    pch = par("pch"),
    col = par("col"),
    cex = par("cex"),
    bg = par("bg"))

Arguments

x	Data points on x-axis, measured in "current" data coordinate
y	Data points on y-axis, measured in "current" data coordinate
sector.index	Index for the sector
track.index	Index for the track
pch	Point type
col	Point color
cex	Point size
bg	backgrond of points

Details

This function can only add points in one specified cell. Pretending a low-level plotting function, it can only be applied in plotting region which has been created.

You can think the function similar as the normal points function, just adding points in the circular plotting region. The position of cell is identified by sector.index and track.index, if they are not specified, they are in 'current' sector and 'current' track.

Data points out of the plotting region will also be added, but with warning messages.

Other graphics parameters which are available in the function are pch, col and cex which have same meaning as those in the par.

It is recommended to use circos.points inside panel.fun in circos.trackPlotRegion so that it draws points directly on "curent" cell.

Examples

circos.initialize(letters[1:8], xlim = c(0, 1))
circos.track(ylim = c(0, 1), panel.fun = function(x, y) {
    circos.points(runif(10), runif(10))
})
circos.points(runif(10), runif(10), sector.index = "c", pch = 16, col = "red")
circos.clear()
