Plotting Segments
To plot segments in a karyoplot we need to use the kpSegments function. Given a
character vector chr and 4 integer vectors x0, y0, x1 and y1 it
will plot segments going from (x0, y0) to (x1, y1).
library(karyoploteR)
kp <- plotKaryotype(chromosomes="chr1")
kpSegments(kp, chr="chr1", x0=0, x1=80e6, y0=0.2, y1=0.8)
We can give it vectors of positions and it will plot a segment for each element in the vectors (recycling them if necessary).
library(karyoploteR)
x0 <- 1:23*10e6
x1 <- 2:24*10e6
y0 <- rnorm(23, mean=0.3, sd=0.1)
y1 <- c(0.7, 0.9)
kp <- plotKaryotype(chromosomes="chr1")
kpSegments(kp, chr="chr1", x0=x0, x1=x1, y0=y0, y1=y1)
The lines can be customized with the same
graphical parameters
as in the R base graphics segments function: lwd, lty, col…
kp <- plotKaryotype(chromosomes="chr1")
kpSegments(kp, chr="chr1", x0=x0, x1=x1, y0=y0, y1=y1, col=rainbow(23),
lty=c(1,2,3,4), lwd=(1:23)/4, r0=0.3, r1=1)
kpSegments(kp, chr="chr1", x0=x0, x1=x1, y0=y0, y1=y1, col=rainbow(23),
lty=c(1,2,3,4), lwd=(1:23)/4, r0=0.7, r1=0)
