plot_gene_haystack_raw function

Visualizing the detection/expression of a gene in a 2D plot

Visualizing the detection/expression of a gene in a 2D plot

plot_gene_haystack_raw( x, y, gene, expression, detection = NULL, high.resolution = FALSE, point.size = 1, order.by.signal = FALSE )

Arguments

  • x: x-axis coordinates of cells in a 2D representation (e.g. resulting from PCA or t-SNE)
  • y: y-axis coordinates of cells in a 2D representation
  • gene: name of a gene that is present in the input expression data, or a numerical index
  • expression: a logical/numerical matrix showing detection/expression of genes (rows) in cells (columns)
  • detection: an optional logical matrix showing detection of genes (rows) in cells (columns). If left as NULL, the density distribution of the gene is not plotted.
  • high.resolution: logical (default: FALSE). If set to TRUE, the density plot will be of a higher resolution
  • point.size: numerical value to set size of points in plot. Default is 1.
  • order.by.signal: If TRUE, cells with higher signal will be put on the foreground in the plot. Default is FALSE.

Returns

A plot
