Class: scatter

LocusZoom_DataLayers~scatter()

Scatter Data Layer Implements a standard scatter plot

Constructor

new scatter()

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
layout.point_size number | Array.<module:LocusZoom_DataLayers~ScalableParameter> <optional>
40

The size (area) of the point for each datum

layout.point_shape string | Array.<module:LocusZoom_DataLayers~ScalableParameter> <optional>
'circle'

Shape of the point for each datum. Supported values map to the d3 SVG Symbol Types (i.e.: "circle", "cross", "diamond", "square", "triangle", "star", and "wye"), plus "triangledown".

layout.color string | Array.<module:LocusZoom_DataLayers~ScalableParameter> <optional>
'#888888'

The color of the point for each datum

layout.coalesce module:LocusZoom_DataLayers~scatter~coalesce_options <optional>

Options to control whether and how to combine adjacent insignificant ("within region of interest") points to improve rendering performance. These options are primarily aimed at GWAS region plots. Within a specified rectangle area (eg "insignificant point cutoff"), we choose only points far enough part to be seen. The defaults are specifically tuned for GWAS plots with -log(p) on the y-axis.

layout.fill_opacity number | Array.<module:LocusZoom_DataLayers~ScalableParameter> <optional>
1

Opacity (0..1) for each datum point

layout.label.text string <optional>

Similar to tooltips: a template string that can reference datum fields for label text.

layout.label.spacing number <optional>

Distance (in px) between the label and the center of the datum.

layout.label.lines.style object <optional>

CSS style options for how the line is rendered

layout.label.filters number <optional>

Filters that describe which points to label. For performance reasons, we recommend labeling only a small subset of most interesting points.

layout.label.style object <optional>

CSS style options for label text

Methods

makeLDReference(element) → {Promise}

Method to set a passed element as the LD reference variant in the plot-level state. Triggers a re-render so that the plot will update with the new LD information. This is useful in tooltips, eg the "make LD reference" action link for GWAS scatter plots.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
element object

The data associated with a particular plot element

Returns:

Type Definitions

coalesce_options

Options that control point-coalescing in scatter plots

Type:
  • object
Properties:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
active boolean <optional>
false

Whether to use this feature. Typically used for GWAS plots, but not other scatter plots such as PheWAS.

max_points number <optional>
800

Only attempt to reduce DOM size if there are at least this many points. Many plots are 800-2400 px wide, so, more than 1 datum per pixel of average region width. For more sparse datasets, all points will be faithfully rendered even if coalesce.active=true.

x_min number <optional>
'-Infinity'

Min x coordinate of the region where points will be coalesced

x_max number <optional>
'Infinity'

Max x coordinate of the region where points will be coalesced

y_min number <optional>
0

Min y coordinate of the region where points will be coalesced.

y_max number <optional>
3.0

Max y coordinate of the region where points will be coalesced

x_gap number <optional>
7

Max number of pixels between the center of two points that can be coalesced. For circles, area 40 = radius ~3.5; aim for ~1 diameter distance.

y_gap number <optional>
7
