Creates a scatter plot to visualize the expression relationship between two genes, with optional coloring by a variable.
Usage
plot_exp_scatter(
exp_data,
gene1,
gene2,
color_var = NA,
pt_size = 2,
fname = NULL,
fwidth = 5,
fheight = 3
)Arguments
- exp_data
A `SummarizedExperiment` object containing gene expression data in the assays slot.
- gene1
A character string specifying the first gene for the x-axis.
- gene2
A character string specifying the second gene for the y-axis.
- color_var
A character string specifying a column in `colData(exp_data)` to use for coloring the points. Default is `NA` (no coloring).
- pt_size
Numeric; size of the points in the scatter plot. Default is `2`.
- fname
A character string specifying the file name to save the plot. Default is `NULL` (do not save).
