multifreqpoly: Multiple frequency polygon plot

In xuz1/ENmix: Quality control and analysis tools for Illumina DNA methylation BeadChip

Multiple frequency polygon plot

Description

Produce Frequency polygon plot for each column of a numeric data matrix. Similar to multidensity function, the plot can be used to inspect data distribution but with much faster speed.

Usage

multifreqpoly(mat, nbreaks=100, col=1:ncol(mat), xlab="", 
              ylab="Frequency",legend = list(x = "top", fill=col,
              legend = if(is.null(colnames(mat))) paste(1:ncol(mat)) 
              else colnames(mat)),append=FALSE,...)

Arguments

mat	A numeric matrix
nbreaks	The number of bins for frequency counting
col	Line plot color code, the length should be equal to the number of columns in mat
xlab	x-axis lable
ylab	y-axis lable
legend	A list of arguments that get passed to the function "legend"
append	TRUE or FALSE, whether to create a new figure or append to the current figure.
...	Further arguments that get passed to the function "plot"

Value

Frequency polygon plots.

Examples
