Accepts a vector listing where x-axis ticks should be drawn or if automatic scaling is desired, one of three strings: “auto”, “auto.linear” or “auto.log”. Automatic scaling fixes x-axis tick locations, labels, and data values dependent given data. “auto” will determine whether linear or logarithmic scaling fits the given data best, “auto.linear” or “auto.log” will force data to be scaled linearly or logarithmically respectively. Defaults to lattice automatic (TRUE). For more details see `auto.axis()`.

Accepts a vector listing where y-axis ticks should be drawn or if automatic scaling is desired, one of three strings: “auto”, “auto.linear” or “auto.log”. Automatic scaling fixes y-axis tick locations, labels, and data values dependent given data. “auto” will determine whether linear or logarithmic scaling fits the given data best, “auto.linear” or “auto.log” will force data to be scaled linearly or logarithmically respectively. Defaults to lattice automatic (TRUE). For more details see `auto.axis()`.

xaxis.lab

Vector listing x-axis tick labels, defaults to automatic (TRUE). Using automatic scaling with xat will overwrite user input. Set to NULL to remove x-axis labels.

yaxis.lab

Vector listing y-axis tick labels, defaults to automatic (TRUE). Using automatic scaling with yat will overwrite user input. Set to NULL to remove y-axis labels.

Details

WARNING: this function uses highly unusual semantics, different from the rest of the BoutrosLab.plotting.general library. The underlying hexbinplot function uses an argument called maxcnt to specify the maximum number of counts per cell. The default behaviour is not sensibly encoded via a NULL or an NA, but instead by using the missing function. As a result, we need to use do.call semantics to handle this function. This can mess up anything using substitute including things that generate p-values!

Warning

If this function is called without capturing the return value, or specifying a filename, it may crash while trying to draw the histogram. In particular, if a script that uses such a call of create histogram is called by reading the script in from the command line, it will fail badly, with an error message about unavailable fonts:


    Error in grid.Call.graphics("L_text", as.graphicsAnnot(x$label), x$x,  )
        Invalid font type
    Calls: print ... drawDetails.text -> grid.Call.graphics -> .Call.graphics
If 'maxcnt' is passed, make sure it is not smaller than the actual maximum count (value depends on nbins). Otherwise, some data may be lost. If you aren't sure what the actual max count is, run this function without specifying the 'maxcnt' parameter using the desired number of bins.
