\keyword{hplot}{plotECDF.FCS}
\begin{Description}\relax
Create a empirical cumulative distribution plot for one parameter
of one (or more) FCS object(s).
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
plotECDF.FCS(data, varpos, var.list, group.list, xlab, ylab,...)                      
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{data}] a list of fluorescent data from one (or more) FCS object(s)
\item[\code{varpos}] the numerical column variable position of the data of
the FCS object
\item[\code{var.list}] conditioning variables
\item[\code{group.list}] a variable or expression to be evaluated in the data
frame specified by 'data', expected to act as a grouping variable
within each panel, typically used to distinguish different groups by
varying graphical parameters like color and line type
\item[\code{xlab}] a title for the x axis
\item[\code{ylab}] a title for the y axis
\item[\code{...}] any other arguments are passed to the \code{\LinkA{xyplot}{xyplot}}
function
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}

Other options from the functions \code{\LinkA{xyplot}{xyplot}} from
the\code{\LinkA{lattice}{lattice}} library.

\begin{ExampleCode}
 require(rfcdmin)

 ##Example I:
 data(flowcyt.data)

 ##Draw an empirical cumulative density plot for the Foward scatter
 ##parameter of the different stains at a particular different time point
 ##(one panel per time point).
 plotECDF.FCS(flowcyt.data,varpos=c(1),var.list=c(paste("time",1:12,sep="")),group.list=paste("Stain",c(1:8),sep=""),main="ECDF plot of the forwad scatter parameter for different stains at a particular time point",lwd=2,cex=1.5)

 ##Example II:
 if (require(rfcdmin)) {
  ##Obtain the location of the fcs files 
  pathFiles<-system.file("bccrc", package="rfcdmin")
  drugFiles<-dir(pathFiles)

  ## Read a serie of FCS files
  drugData<-read.series.FCS(drugFiles,path=pathFiles,MY.DEBUG=FALSE)

  }

  ##Draw a empirical cumulative density plot for the Foward scatter
 ##parameter for the differents aliquots (of the same cell line)
 ##treated with different compounds. 
 plotECDF.FCS(drugData,varpos=c(1),var.list=c("Serie"),group.list=paste("compound",c(1:8),sep=""),main="ECDF plot for the different aliquots treated with diffrent compounds.",lwd=2,cex=1.5)
