plot_core {microbiome} | R Documentation

## Visualize OTU Core

### Description

Core visualization (2D).

### Usage

    plot_core(x, prevalences = seq(0.1, 1, 0.1), detections = 20,
      plot.type = "lineplot", colours = NULL, min.prevalence = NULL,
      taxa.order = NULL, horizontal = FALSE)

### Arguments

`x` | A `phyloseq` object or a core matrix
`prevalences` | a vector of prevalence percentages in [0,1]
`detections` | a vector of intensities around the data range, or a scalar indicating the number of intervals in the data range.
`plot.type` | Plot type ('lineplot' or 'heatmap')
`colours` | colours for the heatmap
`min.prevalence` | If minimum prevalence is set, then filter out those rows (taxa) and columns (detections) that never exceed this prevalence. This helps to zoom in on the actual core region of the heatmap. Only affects the plot.type='heatmap'.
`taxa.order` | Ordering of the taxa: a vector of names.
`horizontal` | Logical. Horizontal figure.

### Value

A list with three elements: the ggplot object and the data. The data has a different form for the lineplot and heatmap. Finally, the applied parameters are returned.
