Boxplots for Overall Comparisons by Continuous Variables.

This function creates a PDF file containing box plots for the continuous variables in the provided data. If the number of columns in data exceeds bin.size, the function splits the plots across multiple pages.

Usage

cyt_bp(data, pdf_title, bin_size = 25, y_lim = NULL, scale = NULL)

Arguments

data

A matrix or data frame containing the raw data to be plotted.

pdf_title

A string representing the name of the PDF file to be created. If set to NULL, the box plots are displayed on the current graphics device. Default is NULL.

bin_size

An integer specifying the maximum number of box plots to display on a single page.

y_lim

An optional numeric vector defining the y-axis limits for the plots.

scale

An optional character string. If set to "log2", numeric columns are log2-transformed.

Value

A PDF file containing the box plots for the continuous variables.

Examples

# Loading data
data.df <- ExampleData1
# Generate box plots for log2-transformed values to check for outliers:
cyt_bp(data.df[,-c(1:3)], pdf_title = NULL, scale = "log2")
