Add points to the plotting regions in a same track

circos.trackPoints(
    sectors,
    x, y,
    track.index = get.current.track.index(),
    pch = par("pch"),
    col = par("col"),
    cex = par("cex"),
    bg = par("bg"),
    factors = sectors)

Arguments

sectors	A `factor` or a character vector which represents the categories of data
factors	The same as `sectors`. It will be removed in future versions.
x	Data points on x-axis
y	Data points on y-axis
track.index	Index for the track
pch	Point type
col	Point color
cex	Point size
bg	backgrond color

Details

The function adds points in multiple cells by first splitting data into several parts in which each part corresponds to one factor (sector index) and then adding points in each cell by calling circos.points.

Length of pch, col and cex can be one, length of levels of the factors or length of factors.

This function can be replaced by a for loop containing circos.points.

Examples

circos.initialize(letters[1:8], xlim = c(0, 1))
df = data.frame(sectors = sample(letters[1:8], 100, replace = TRUE),
                x = runif(100), y = runif(100))
circos.track(ylim = c(0, 1))
circos.trackPoints(df$sectors, x = df$x, y = df$y, pch = 16, col = as.numeric(factor(df$fa)))
circos.clear()
