plotMAD: Array-Array Expression Level Distance Plot for Device
In xps: Processing and Analysis of Affymetrix Oligonucleotide Arrays including Exon Arrays, Whole Genome Arrays and Plate Arrays

Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) See Also

A false color display of between arrays distances, computed as the MAD of the M-values of each pair of arrays for the selected device.

plotMAD(x,
        which      = "UnitName",
        transfo    = log2,
        col        = NULL,
        names      = "namepart",
        sort       = FALSE,
        bmar       = NULL,
        add.legend = FALSE,
        dev        = "screen",
        outfile    = "MADPlot",
        w          = 540,
        h          = 540,
        ...)

`x`	object of class `ExprTreeSet`.
`which`	type of probes to be used, for details see `validData`.
`transfo`	a valid function to transform the data, usually “log2”, or “0”.
`col`	vector of colors for plot, length is number of samples.
`names`	optional vector of sample names.
`sort`	logical, if TRUE the correlation matrix will be sorted decreasingly.
`bmar`	optional `list` for bottom margin and axis label magnification `cex.axis`.
`add.legend`	logical, if TRUE then a color bar will be drawn.
`dev`	graphics device to plot to, i.e. one of “screen”, “jpeg”,“png”, “pdf” or “ps”.
`outfile`	the name of the output file.
`w`	the width of the device in pixels.
`h`	the height of the device in pixels.
`...`	optional arguments to be passed to `plot`.

Produces a false color display, i.e. heatmap, of between array distances for slot data for an object of class ExprTreeSet, computed as the MAD of the M-values of each pair of arrays.

For names=NULL full column names of slot data will be displayed while for names="namepart" column names will be displayed without name extension. If names is a vector of column names, only these columns will displayed as mdaplot.

For bmar=NULL the default list bmar = list(b=6, cex.axis=1.0) will be used initially. However, both bottom margin and axis label magnification will be adjusted depending on the number of label characters and the number of smaples.
