svdvis (version 0.1)

radviz: Radial Coordinates Plots

Description

Creates radial coordinates plots, with m variables (rows) and n samples (columns). Each variable is mapped onto a circle, using data points as spring constants. Each column is re-scaled to have numeric values between 0 and 1.

Usage

radviz(dat, group = NULL, color = NULL, hjust = 0, vjust = 0, alpha = 1)

Arguments

dat

A matrix with m rows and n columns, where columns represent dimensions.

group

A vector of length m, specifying groups (e.g., phenotypes or conditions for m samples).

color

A vector of hex color codes to represent groups.

hjust

A parameter to horizontally adjust axis names around the circle; hjust arguments for geom_text

vjust

A parameter to vertically adjust axis names around the circle; vjust arguments for geom_text

alpha

A numeric value for transparency.

Value

svd.radial creates and draws a figure, which is a ggplot object.
