AUCell_plotHist {AUCell} | R Documentation

## Plot AUC histogram

### Description

Plots the distribution of AUC across the cells (for each gene-set) as an histogram.

### Usage

    AUCell_plotHist(cellsAUC, aucThr = max(cellsAUC), nBreaks = 100,
      onColor = "dodgerblue4", offColor = "slategray2", ...)

### Arguments

`cellsAUC` | Subset of the object returned by `AUCell_calcAUC` (i.e. including only the gene-sets to plot)
`aucThr` | AUC value planned to use as threshold (to make sure the X axis includes it), if any. Otherwise, the X axis extends to cover only the AUC values plotted.
`nBreaks` | Number of 'bars' to plot (breaks argument for hist function).
`onColor` | Color for the bars that pass the AUC threshold
`offColor` | Color for the bars that do not pass the AUC threshold
`...` | Other arguments to pass to `hist` function.

### Value

List of histogram objects (invisible).

### Examples

    # This example is run using a fake expression matrix.
    # Therefore, the output will be meaningless.
