gplate introduces a grammar of plates.
Microwell plates are usually arranged in visually meaningful ways but are not tidy data, and their manipulation to and from a tidy form is cumbersome. gplate is aimed at both developers that create packages that ingest and produce plate data as well as for interactive operating on microwell data.
You can install the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("KaiAragaki/gplate")Creating a plate plot is simple:
library(gplate)
gp(rows = 16, cols = 24) |>
gp_plot(as.factor(.row))
We can add
rectangular ‘sections’ to our plates:
gp(rows = 16, cols = 24) |>
gp_sec("my_section", nrow = 12, ncol = 6) |>
gp_plot(my_section)
These sections can have sections of their own, just by layering one
gp_sec on the other.
gp(rows = 16, cols = 24) |>
gp_sec("my_section", nrow = 12, ncol = 6) |>
gp_sec("secsec", nrow = 3, ncol = 3) |>
gp_plot(secsec)
gplate also has a theme - gp_mini_theme - that lets you create
sparkline-esque plates.
mini_plot_cols <- gp(8, 12) |>
gp_sec(name = "primers", ncol = 3) |>
gp_plot(primers) +
gp_mini_theme()
ggplot2::ggsave(filename = "./man/figures/mini-plot_cols.png",
plot = mini_plot_cols,
height = 0.5,
width = 0.75,
units = "in",
scale = 3.5)
mini_plot_rows <- gp(8, 12) |>
gp_sec(name = "primers", nrow = 3) |>
gp_plot(primers) +
gp_mini_theme()
ggplot2::ggsave(filename = "./man/figures/mini-plot_rows.png",
plot = mini_plot_rows,
height = 0.5,
width = 0.75,
units = "in",
scale = 3.5)For instance:
You should align your primers in columns
instead of in rows
