## Note: the specification for S3 class "AsIs" in package 'RJSONIO' seems equivalent to one from package 'BiocGenerics': not turning on duplicate class definitions for this class.

interactiveDisplay

interactiveDisplay uses the function display() to host a browser based application on the fly using the Shiny package. Currently 4 Bioconductor objects: Granges, GrangesList, ExpressionSet and SummarizedExperiment are supported with tailored methods. In some cases, grid based plots are converted to SVG with the gridSVG package and additional JavaScript is appended for simple mousewheel zoom and panning. Shiny UI elements are available based on the object passed to display(). These allow the user to modify how the plot is displayed, and for some objects, modify or subset the data and send it back to the console.

Methods

draw an SummarizedExperiment object

data(se)
display(se)

draw a GRanges object

data(mmgr)
display(mmgr)

draw a GRangesList object

data(mmgrl)
display(mmgrl)

draw an ExpressionSet object

data(expr)
display(expr)

Additional Functionality

In addition to the main display() function, the user can send any grid based plot to the browser as a JS interactive SVG.

library(ggplot2)
data(mtcars)
qp <- qplot(mpg, data = mtcars, geom = "density", fill = factor(cyl), alpha = I(0.4))
gridsvgjs(qp)
