`spatNetwDistributions`¶

spatNetwDistributionsDistance

Description¶

This function return histograms displaying the distance distribution for each spatial k-neighbor

Usage¶

spatNetwDistributions(
  gobject,
  spatial_network_name = "spatial_network",
  distribution = c("distance", "k_neighbors"),
  hist_bins = 30,
  test_distance_limit = NULL,
  ncol = 1,
  show_plot = NA,
  return_plot = NA,
  save_plot = NA,
  save_param = list(),
  default_save_name = "spatNetwDistributions"
)

Arguments¶

Argument	Description
`gobject`	Giotto object
`spatial_network_name`	name of spatial network
`distribution`	show the distribution of cell-to-cell distance or number of k neighbors
`hist_bins`	number of binds to use for the histogram
`test_distance_limit`	effect of different distance threshold on k-neighbors
`ncol`	number of columns to visualize the histograms in
`show_plot`	show plot
`return_plot`	return ggplot object
`save_plot`	directly save the plot [boolean]
`save_param`	list of saving parameters from ``all_plots_save_function` <#allplotssavefunction>`_
`default_save_name`	default save name for saving, alternatively change save_name in save_param

Details¶

The list(“distance”) option shows the spatial distance distribution for each nearest neighbor rank (1st, 2nd, 3th, … neigbor).: With this option the user can also test the effect of a distance limit on the spatial network. This distance limit can be used to remove neigbor cells that are considered to far away. list() The list(“k_neighbors”) option shows the number of k neighbors distribution over all cells.

Value¶

ggplot plot
