FlowSOM (version 1.4.0)

PlotMarker: Plot marker values

Description

Plot FlowSOM grid or tree, coloured by node values for a specific marker

Usage

PlotMarker(fsom, marker = NULL, view = TRUE, main = NULL, colorPalette = grDevices::colorRampPalette(c("#00007F", "blue", "#007FFF", "cyan", "#7FFF7F", "yellow", "#FF7F00", "red", "#7F0000")))

Arguments

fsom

FlowSOM object, as generated by BuildMST

marker

Name or index of marker to plot

view

Preferred view, options: "MST", "grid" or "tSNE" (if this option was selected while building the MST)

main

# Read from file, build self-organizing map and minimal spanning tree
fileName <- system.file("extdata","lymphocytes.fcs",package="FlowSOM")
flowSOM.res <- ReadInput(fileName, compensate=TRUE,transform=TRUE,
                         scale=TRUE)
flowSOM.res <- BuildSOM(flowSOM.res,colsToUse=c(9,12,14:18))
flowSOM.res <- BuildMST(flowSOM.res)

# Plot one marker
PlotMarker(flowSOM.res,"FSC-A")
