supercurveGUI: Graphical User Interface for the SuperCurve package

In SuperCurveGUI: 'SuperCurve' GUI Package

Description

Graphical User Interface for the SuperCurve package.

Usage

supercurveGUI()
scui()

Details

The function supercurveGUI launches a Graphical User Interface for the SuperCurve package. The GUI uses Tk widgets (via the R-Tcl/Tk interface by Peter Dalgaard) in order to provide a simple interface to the SuperCurve functions for analyzing reverse phase protein lysate arrays.

The function scui is an alias for the aforementioned function.

If set, the environment variable SC_DIR will be used as the initial location for the directory containing quantification files.

Resources

The Tk options database is loaded from user-specific defaults files, such as ‘.Xdefaults’, and resource databases loaded into the X server. The package will attempt to load its resources upon startup, following the X11R5 method of merging app-default files from multiple sources. The standard X11 paths are searched first, followed by paths specified by the environment variables XFILESEARCHPATH, XAPPLRESDIR, XUSERFILESEARCHPATH, respectively. Unlike X11, ALL matching files will be loaded, not just the first.

One way to make use of the options database is to create a file named ‘supercurveGUI.ad’ in your home directory, specifying any desired resources. Set your XUSERFILESEARCHPATH environment variable within R with the command:
Sys.setenv(XUSERFILESEARCHPATH=file.path(path.expand("~"), "%N.ad"))

For example, to cause SuperCurve to convert each quantification file as it's read from a single subgrid physical layout into its actual logical one by default, add the following resource value to the app-defaults file mentioned above:
*software: superslide
