plot.scanone {qtl}

Plot LOD curves

Description

Plot the LOD curve for a genome scan with a single-QTL model (the output of scanone).

Usage

## S3 method for class 'scanone'
plot(x, x2, x3, chr, lodcolumn=1, incl.markers=TRUE,
     xlim, ylim, lty=1, col=c("black","blue","red"), lwd=2,
     add=FALSE, gap=25, mtick = c("line", "triangle"),
     show.marker.names=FALSE, alternate.chrid=FALSE,
     bandcol=NULL, type="l", cex=1, pch=1, bg="transparent",
     bgrect=NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

An object of class "scanone", as output by scanone.

x2

Optional second scanone object.

x3

Optional third scanone object.

chr

Optional vector indicating the chromosomes to plot. This should be a vector of character strings referring to chromosomes by name; numeric values are converted to strings. Refer to chromosomes with a preceding - to have all chromosomes but those considered. A logical (TRUE/FALSE) vector may also be used.

lodcolumn

An integer, or vector of 3 integers, indicating which of the LOD score columns should be plotted (generally this is 1).

incl.markers

Indicate whether to plot line segments at the marker locations.

xlim

Limits for x-axis (optional).

ylim

Limits for y-axis (optional).

lty

Line types; a vector of length 1 or 3.

col

Line colors; a vector of length 1 or 3.

lwd

Line widths; a vector of length 1 or 3.

add

If TRUE, add to a current plot.

gap

Gap separating chromosomes (in cM).

mtick

Tick mark type for markers (line segments or upward-pointing triangels).

show.marker.names

If TRUE, show the marker names along the x axis.

alternate.chrid

If TRUE and more than one chromosome is plotted, alternate the placement of chromosome axis labels, so that they may be more easily distinguished.

bandcol

Optional color for alternating bands to indicate chromosomes. If NULL (the default), no bands are plotted. A good choice might be bandcol="gray70".

type

Type of plot (see plot): for example, type="l" for lines or type="p" for points only, may be of length 1 or 3.

cex

Point size expansion, for example if type="p" is used. May be of length 1 or 3.

pch

Point type, for example if type="p" is used. See points. May be of length 1 or 3.

bg

Background color for points, for example if type="p" and pch=21 are used. See points. May be of length 1 or 3.

bgrect

Optional background color for the rectangular plotting region.

...

Passed to the function plot when it is called.

Details

This function allows you to plot the results of up to three genome scans against one another. Such objects must conform with each other.

One may alternatively use the argument add to add the plot of an additional genome scan to the current figure, but some care is required: the same chromosomes should be selected, and the results must concern crosses with the same genetic maps.

If a single scanone object containing multiple LOD score columns (for example, from different phenotypes) is input, up to three LOD curves may be plotted, by providing a vector in the argument lodcolumn. If multiple scanone objects are input (via x, x2 and x3), the LOD score columns to be plotted are chosen from the corresponding element of the lodcolumn argument.

Value

None.

Examples

data(fake.f2)

fake.f2 <- calc.genoprob(fake.f2,step=2.5)
out.mr <- scanone(fake.f2, method="mr")
out.em <- scanone(fake.f2, method="em")
plot(out.mr)
plot(out.mr, out.em, chr=c(1,13), lty=1, col=c("violetred","black"))
out.hk <- scanone(fake.f2, method="hk")
plot(out.hk, chr=c(1,13), add=TRUE, col="slateblue")

plot(out.hk, chr=13, show.marker.names=TRUE)

plot(out.hk, bandcol="gray70")

# plot points rather than lines
plot(out.hk, bandcol="gray70", type="p", cex=0.3, pch=21, bg="slateblue")
