Plot chip image (methods)

Description

Methods for graphic display of spatially-linked data, particularly applicable for microarrays

Methods

x = "missing", y = "missing", z = "missing"

Handle empty function call

x = "matrix", y = "missing", z = "missing"

Handle matrix input, extract information, and reinterpret function call with appropriate vectors

x = "ExpressionSet", y = "missing", z = "missing"

Handle input of an object of class ExpressionSet. Derive both data and position information from a single object.

x = "ExpressionSet", y = "vector", z = "missing"

Handle input of an object of class ExpressionSet. Derive position information from this object, but the corresponding data from vector input.

x = "ExpressionSet", y = "ExpressionSet", z = "missing"

Handle input of two objects of class ExpressionSet. Derive position information and data from each one, respectively.

x = "vector", y = "vector", z = "ExpressionSet"

Handle input of an object of class ExpressionSet. Derive data from this object, but the corresponding position information from vector input.

x = "vector", y = "vector", z = "vector"

Handle input of three vectors. Derive X and Y positions and data from each one, respectively.
