flowMerge (version 2.20.0)

ptree: Generate a Function to Plot The Merging Tree

Description

This function generates and returns a new function which can be used to plot the merging tree for a flowMerge model, with nodes highlighted based on the expression of different parameters for each cell population.

Usage

ptree(x,y)

Arguments

x

A character string of the name of the variable holding the list of merged models returned from flowMerge

y

The index of the best fitting merged model in that list

Value

Returns a function

Side Effects

A plot will be drawn on the current device.

Details

ptree will generate a function that will plot the merging tree from a flowMerge model. Nodes will be colored by the intensity of staining of that population in a given dimension. Calling f<-ptree("model.name",fitPiecewiseLinreg(model.name)) will assign the function to f. Calling f(3) will plot the merging tree with nodes hightlighted according to parameter 3, presuming that there are that many parameters in the model.
