igvR-class {igvR} | R Documentation

## Create an igvR object

### Description

The igvR class provides an R interface to igv.js, a rich, interactive, full-featured, javascript browser-based genome browser. One constructs an igvR instance on a specified port (default 9000), the browser code is loaded, and a websocket connection openend. After specifying the reference genome, any number of genome tracks may be created, displayed, and navigated.

### Usage

    igvR(portRange = 15000:15100, host = "localhost", title = "igvR",
      browserFile = igvBrowserFile, quiet = TRUE)

### Arguments

`portRange` | The constructor looks for a free websocket port in this range. 15000:15100 by default
`host` | In practice, this is always "localhost"
`title` | Used for the web browser window, "igvR" by default
`browserFile` | The full path to the bundled html, js and libraries, and css which constitute the browser app
`quiet` | A logical variable controlling verbosity during execution

### Value

An object of the igvR class

### Examples

    if(interactive()){
       igv <- igvR(title="igv demo")
       setGenome(igv, "hg38")
       showGenomicRegion(igv, "MEF2C")

       track <- DataFrameAnnotationTrack("dataframeTest", tbl, color="red", displayMode="EXPANDED")
       displayTrack(igv, track)
       showGenomicRegion(igv, sprintf("chr5:%d-%d", base.loc-100, base.loc+350))
       } # if interactive
