Explore & visualise flow cytometry data.

cyto_plot(x, ...)

Arguments

x

object of class flowFrame, flowSet or GatingSet.

...

additional method-specific arguments for cyto_plot.

Details

cyto_plot is flow cytometry visualisation tool built on base graphics which supports all existing flow cytometry objects including flowFrame, flowSet, GatingHierarchy and GatingSet objects. The type of plot constructed by cyto_plot is determined by the number of channels supplied to the channels argument. If a single channel is supplied, a 1-D density distribution will be plotted. Supplying two channels to this argument will result in construction of a 2-D scatterplot with a blue-red density colour scale for points.

Some key features of cyto_plot include:

  • autocomplete friendly arguments

  • minimal coding

  • 1-D density distributions

  • 2-D scatterplots

  • stacked density distributions

  • 2-D contour lines

  • back-gating

  • overlays

  • population labelling

  • grid to visualise multiple samples

  • plot gate objects

  • plot in pop-up windows

  • sampling

  • fully customisable

  • copy and paste arguments from gate_draw
