cytoflow.views.kde_1d

A one-channel kernel density estimate (like a smoothed histogram).

Kde1DView – the IView class that makes the plot.

class cytoflow.views.kde_1d.Kde1DView[source]

Bases: cytoflow.views.base_views.Base1DView

Plots a one-channel kernel density estimate, which is like a smoothed histogram.

channel

The channel to view

Type

Str

scale

The scale applied to the data before plotting it.

Type

{‘linear’, ‘log’, ‘logicle’}

subset

An expression that specifies the subset of the statistic to plot. Passed unmodified to pandas.DataFrame.query.

Type

str

xfacet

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

Type

String

yfacet

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

Type

String

huefacet

Set to one of the Experiment.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’}

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()

Plot a histogram

>>> flow.Kde1DView(channel = 'Y2-A',
...                scale = 'log',
...                huefacet = 'Dox').plot(ex)

plot(experiment, **kwargs)[source]

Plot a smoothed histogram view of a channel

Parameters
  • experiment (Experiment) – The Experiment to plot using this view.

  • title (str) – Set the plot title

  • xlabel (str) – Set the X axis label

  • ylabel (str) – Set the Y axis label

  • 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 (bool) – If there are multiple subplots, should they share X axes? Defaults to True.

  • sharey (bool) – If there are multiple subplots, should they share Y axes? Defaults to True.

  • row_order (list) – Override the row 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.

  • col_order (list) – Override the column 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.

  • hue_order (list) – Override the 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 this 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.

  • palette (palette name, list, or dict) – Colors to use for the different levels of the hue variable. Should be something that can be interpreted by seaborn.color_palette, or a dictionary mapping hue levels to matplotlib colors.

  • 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’})

  • shade (bool) – If True (the default), shade the area under the plot.

  • alpha (float, >=0 and <= 1) – The transparency of the shading. 1 is opaque, 0 is transparent. Default = 0.25

  • kernel (str) – The kernel to use for the kernel density estimate. Choices are:

  • bw (str or float) – The bandwidth for the kernel, controls how lumpy or smooth the kernel estimate is. Choices are:

  • gridsize (int (default = 100)) – How many times to compute the kernel?

Notes

Other kwargs are passed to matplotlib.pyplot.plot
