cytoflow.operations.range

class cytoflow.operations.range.RangeOp[source]

Bases: traits.has_traits.HasStrictTraits

Apply a range gate to a cytometry experiment.

name

The operation name. Used to name the new metadata field in the experiment that’s created by apply()

Type:Str
channel

The name of the channel to apply the range gate.

Type:Str
low

The lowest value to include in this gate.

Type:Float
high

The highest value to include in this gate.

Type:Float

Examples

Make a little data set.

>>> import cytoflow as flow
>>> import_op = flow.ImportOp()
>>> import_op.tubes = [flow.Tube(file = "Plate01/RFP_Well_A3.fcs",
...                              conditions = {'Dox' : 10.0}),
...                    flow.Tube(file = "Plate01/CFP_Well_A4.fcs",
...                              conditions = {'Dox' : 1.0})]
>>> import_op.conditions = {'Dox' : 'float'}
>>> ex = import_op.apply()

Create and parameterize the operation.

>>> range_op = flow.RangeOp(name = 'Range',
...                         channel = 'Y2-A',
...                         low = 2000,
...                         high = 10000)

Plot a diagnostic view

>>> rv = range_op.default_view(scale = 'log')
>>> rv.plot(ex)

Note

If you want to use the interactive default view in a Jupyter notebook, make sure you say %matplotlib notebook in the first cell (instead of %matplotlib inline or similar). Then call default_view() with interactive = True:

rv = range_op.default_view(scale = 'log',
                           interactive = True)
rv.plot(ex)

Apply the gate, and show the result

>>> ex2 = range_op.apply(ex)
>>> ex2.data.groupby('Range').size()
Range
False    16042
True      3958
dtype: int64
apply(experiment)[source]

Applies the range gate to an experiment.

Parameters:experiment (Experiment) – the old_experiment to which this op is applied
Returns:a new experiment, the same as old Experiment but with a new column of type bool with the same as the operation name. The bool is True if the event’s measurement in channel is greater than low and less than high; it is False otherwise.
Return type:Experiment
default_view(**kwargs)[source]
class cytoflow.operations.range.RangeSelection[source]

Bases: cytoflow.operations.base_op_views.Op1DView, cytoflow.views.histogram.HistogramView

Plots, and lets the user interact with, a selection on the X axis.

interactive

is this view interactive? Ie, can the user set min and max with a mouse drag?

Type:Bool
channel

The channel this view is viewing. If you created the view using default_view(), this is already set.

Type:String
scale

The way to scale the x axes. If you created the view using default_view(), this may be already set.

Type:{‘linear’, ‘log’, ‘logicle’}
op

The IOperation that this view is associated with. If you created the view using default_view(), this is already set.

Type:Instance(IOperation)
xfacet, yfacet

Set to one of the conditions in the Experiment, and a new row or column of subplots will be added for every unique value of that condition.

Type:String
huefacet

Set to one of the conditions in the in the Experiment, and a new color will be added to the plot for every unique value of that condition.

Type:String
huescale

How should the color scale for huefacet be scaled?

Type:{‘linear’, ‘log’, ‘logicle’}

Notes

We inherit xfacet and yfacet from cytoflow.views.HistogramView, but they must both be unset!

Examples

In an IPython notebook with %matplotlib notebook

>>> r = RangeOp(name = "RangeGate",
...             channel = 'Y2-A')
>>> rv = r.default_view()
>>> rv.interactive = True
>>> rv.plot(ex2)
>>> ### draw a range on the plot ###
>>> print r.low, r.high
plot(experiment, **kwargs)[source]

Plot the underlying histogram and then plot the selection on top of it.

Parameters:
  • experiment (Experiment) – The Experiment to plot using this view.
  • title (str) – Set the plot title
  • xlabel, ylabel (str) – Set the X and Y axis labels
  • huelabel (str) – Set the label for the hue facet (in the legend)
  • legend (bool) – Plot a legend for the color or hue facet? Defaults to True.
  • sharex, sharey (bool) – If there are multiple subplots, should they share axes? Defaults to True.
  • row_order, col_order, hue_order (list) – Override the row/column/hue facet value order with the given list. If a value is not given in the ordering, it is not plotted. Defaults to a “natural ordering” of all the values.
  • height (float) – The height of each row in inches. Default = 3.0
  • aspect (float) – The aspect ratio of each subplot. Default = 1.5
  • col_wrap (int) – If xfacet is set and yfacet is not set, you can “wrap” the subplots around so that they form a multi-row grid by setting col_wrap to the number of columns you want.
  • sns_style ({“darkgrid”, “whitegrid”, “dark”, “white”, “ticks”}) – Which seaborn style to apply to the plot? Default is whitegrid.
  • sns_context ({“paper”, “notebook”, “talk”, “poster”}) – Which seaborn context to use? Controls the scaling of plot elements such as tick labels and the legend. Default is talk.
  • despine (Bool) – Remove the top and right axes from the plot? Default is True.
  • min_quantile (float (>0.0 and <1.0, default = 0.001)) – Clip data that is less than this quantile.
  • max_quantile (float (>0.0 and <1.0, default = 1.00)) – Clip data that is greater than this quantile.
  • lim ((float, float)) – Set the range of the plot’s data axis.
  • orientation ({‘vertical’, ‘horizontal’})
  • num_bins (int) – The number of bins to plot in the histogram. Clipped to [100, 1000]
  • histtype ({‘stepfilled’, ‘step’, ‘bar’}) – The type of histogram to draw. stepfilled is the default, which is a line plot with a color filled under the curve.
  • density (bool) – If True, re-scale the histogram to form a probability density function, so the area under the histogram is 1.
  • linewidth (float) – The width of the histogram line (in points)
  • linestyle ([‘-’ | ‘–’ | ‘-.’ | ‘:’ | “None”]) – The style of the line to plot
  • alpha (float (default = 0.5)) – The alpha blending value, between 0 (transparent) and 1 (opaque).
