RCircos (version 1.2.2)

RCircos.Get.Paired.Points.Positions: Calcualte Plot Positions for A Genomic Interval

Description

Calculate x and y coordinates for a genomic interval which needs two plot positions (start and end) such as link lines/ribbons, tiles, parallel lines. As a set of points for a circlar line is held in the RCircos session, we only need the index of the point for each genomic position.

Usage

RCircos.Get.Paired.Points.Positions(genomic.data=NULL, genomic.columns=3,  
    plot.type=c("link", "ribbon", "pLink", "polygon", "tile"))

Arguments

genomic.data

A data frame contains paired genomic positions (chromosome names, start and end positions). The data does not need to be sorted.

genomic.columns

Non-negative integer, total number of columns for genomic position (chromosome name, start and/or end position).

plot.type

Chraracter vector, either "link", "ribbon", "pLink", "polygon", or "tile".

Value

A data frame same as input but with two new columns for index of plot positions on circular line.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
library(RCircos)
data(UCSC.HG19.Human.CytoBandIdeogram)
data(RCircos.Link.Data)

RCircos.Set.Core.Components(UCSC.HG19.Human.CytoBandIdeogram,  
    chr.exclude=NULL, track.inside=10, tracks.outside=0)
linkData<-RCircos.Get.Paired.Points.Positions(RCircos.Link.Data,
    genomic.columns=3, plot.type="link")
# }
