controlDensityPerScreen {RNAither} | R Documentation

## Plotting the control density per experiment

### Description

Plots the density of positive and negative controls (if applicable) for each experiment.

### Usage

    controlDensityPerScreen(header, dataset, channel, plotTitle, showPlot, supHisto)

### Arguments

`header` | the header of a dataset file generated with `generateDatasetFile`
`dataset` | an R data frame generated with `generateDatasetFile`
`channel` | a character string specifying the name of the column containing the values for computing the density, e.g. `"SigIntensity"`
`plotTitle` | the plot title
`showPlot` | 0 or 1. 1 will open one or several plot windows in the R GUI, 0 will only save the plot(s) without opening windows
`supHisto` | 0 or 1. 1 will additionally superimpose a colour histogram of the values for the positive and negative controls. Otherwise choose 0.

### Value

Generates a series of plots for each experiment, showing the density of positive and negative controls (if applicable). The plots are saved as pdf and png files named after the experiment name specified in the header concatenated with the `plotTitle` and the number of the experiment.

The function returns a list of length 3 containing:

`plotName` | the plotname
`minOfScreens` | the number of the first experiment
`numOfScreens` | the number of the last experiment
