PeakML.Isotope.plotSamples {mzmatch.R}R Documentation

PeakML.Isotope.plotSamples

Description

Plots the isotopes of the specified compound as a pdf document. The pdf document in which the plots has to be placed has to be initiated prior to calling this function (see PeakML.Isotope.processTargettedIsotopes)

Usage

	PeakML.Isotope.plotSamples(isotopeChroms, metName, metFormula, metMass, stdRT, sampleType, sampleGroups, plotOrder, useArea, followCarbon, label, exclude_from_plots)

Arguments

isotopeChroms

The chromatograms of the isotope. See PeakML.Isotope.getChromData.

metName

Name of the metabolite.

metFormula

Formula of the metabolite.

metMass

Mass of the compound.

stdRT

The standard retention time of the compound if known.

sampleType

The type of sample, eg., positive ionisation, negetive ionisation.

sampleGroups

The sample groups

plotOrder

The order in which the isotopes has to be plotted.

useArea

TRUE will sum up all intensities to give area under the curve, FALSE gives maximum intensities.

followCarbon

The number of the carbon in a compound whose labelled or unlabelled trend has to be plotted.

label

The type of labelling used in the data being analysed.

exclude_from_plots

Exclude the groups in this list from the plots in the output.

Details

The PeakML file format defines an open and extensible file format for storing extracted hyphenated mass spectrometry data. As such, the format will enable users to store intermediate data in a structured manner, but more importantly, to exchange data between different data analysis software. This will give complete flexible control to the users of data analysis software to cherry pick those components best suited to their needs. The PeakML.Methods contains a set of R functions that will enable end users to rapidly write scripts to manipulate PeakML files.

Value

PeakML.Isotope.plotSamples plots the isotopes of the specifed compound as a pdf document.
