saveProgenyPlots {progeny} | R Documentation

## Function to save Progeny plots

### Description

This function is designed to save the plots (in pdf format) of a nested (2 level) list of arrangeGrob objects, such as the one returned by the progenyScatter function.

### Usage

    saveProgenyPlots(plots, contrast_names, dirpath)

### Arguments

`plots` | a list of list of arrangeGrob object (such as the one returned by the progenyScatter function.).The first level list elements correspond to samples/contrasts. The second level corresponds to pathways. The plots can be saved in a pdf format using the saveProgenyPlots function.
`contrast_names` | a vector of the same length as the first level of the plot list corresponding to the names of each sample/contrast
`dirpath` | the path to the directory where the plots should be saved

### Value

This function produces the pdf files of plots taken from the progenyScatter function

### Examples

    #create plots using progneyScatter function
    gene_expression <- read.csv(system.file("extdata",
    "human_input.csv", package = "progeny"))

    # getting a weight_matrix
    weight_matrix <- getModel("Human", top=100)
    weight_matrix <- data.frame(names = row.names(weight_matrix),
      row.names = NULL, weight_matrix)
    plots <- progenyScatter(gene_expression, weight_matrix)

    #create a list with contrast names
    contrast_names <- names(gene_expression[2:ncol(gene_expression)])

    #assign a path to store your plots
    dirpath <- "./progeny_plots/"

    #save it
    saveProgenyPlots(plots, contrast_names, dirpath)
