## Plots for Analyzing Expression and Isoform Usage

### Description

Together these three plots enables visualization of gene expression, isoform expression as well as isoform usage.

### Usage

    switchPlotGeneExp(
        switchAnalyzeRlist,
        gene = NULL,
        condition1 = NULL,
        condition2 = NULL,
        addErrorbars = TRUE,
        confidenceIntervalErrorbars = TRUE,
        confidenceInterval = 0.95,
        alphas = c(0.05, 0.001),
        logYaxis=FALSE,
        extendFactor = 0.05,
        localTheme = theme_bw()
    )

    switchPlotIsoExp(
        switchAnalyzeRlist,
        gene=NULL,
        isoform_id = NULL,
        condition1 = NULL,
        condition2 = NULL,
        IFcutoff = 0.05,
        addErrorbars = TRUE,
        confidenceIntervalErrorbars = TRUE,
        confidenceInterval = 0.95,
        alphas = c(0.05, 0.001),
        logYaxis=FALSE,
        extendFactor = 0.05,
        localTheme = theme_bw()
    )

    switchPlotIsoUsage(
        switchAnalyzeRlist,
        gene=NULL,
        isoform_id = NULL,
        condition1 = NULL,
        condition2 = NULL,
        IFcutoff = 0.05,
        addErrorbars = TRUE,
        confidenceIntervalErrorbars = TRUE,
        confidenceInterval = 0.95,
        alphas = c(0.05, 0.001),
        extendFactor = 0.05,
        localTheme = theme_bw()
    )

### Arguments

`switchAnalyzeRlist` | A `switchAnalyzeRlist` object
`gene` | The gene_id or the gene name of the gene to plot. If not supplied 'isoform_id' must be supplied.
`isoform_id` | Vector of id indicating which isoforms (from the same gene) to plot. If not supplied 'gene' must be supplied.
`condition1` | First condition of the comparison to analyze. Must match 'condition_1' in the 'isoformFeatures' entry of the `switchAnalyzeRlist`. Only needed if more than one comparison is analyzed.
`condition2` | Second condition of the comparison to analyze. Must match 'condition_2' in the 'isoformFeatures' entry of the `switchAnalyzeRlist`. Only needed if more than one comparison is analyzed.
`IFcutoff` | The cutoff which the Isoform Fraction (IF) value (in at least one condition) must be larger than for a isoforms to be plotted. Default is 0.05 (which removes isoforms with minor contribution).
`addErrorbars` | A logic indicating whether error bars should be added to the expression plots to show uncertainty in estimates (recommended). Default is TRUE.
`confidenceIntervalErrorbars` | A logic indicating whether error bars should be given as confidence intervals (if TRUE)(recommended) or standard error of mean (if FALSE). Default is TRUE.
`confidenceInterval` | The confidence level used in the confidence intervals if confidenceIntervalErrorbars is enabled. Default is 0.95 corresponding to 95% (recommended).
`alphas` | A numeric vector of length two giving the significance levels represented in plots. The numbers indicate the q-value cutoff for significant (*) and highly significant (***) respectively. Default 0.05 and 0.001 which should be interpret as q<0.05 and q<0.001 respectively). If q-values are higher than this they will be annotated as 'ns' (not significant).
`logYaxis` | A logical indicating whether the y-axis of the plot should be log10 transformed (a pseudocount of 1 will be added to avid large negative values). Default is FALSE.
`extendFactor` | A numeric controlling the distance (as fraction of expression) between the bars indicating the expression values and the indications of significance. Default is 0.1
`localTheme` | General ggplo2 theme with which the plot is made, see `?ggplot2::theme` for more info. Default is theme_bw().

### Details

Changes in isoform usage are measure as the difference in isoform fraction (dIF) values, where isoform fraction (IF) values are calculated as <isoform_exp> / <gene_exp>.

Note that the bar indicating significance levels will only be shown if the analysis have been performed (if the q-values are not NA).

### Value

- `switchPlotGeneExp` : Generates a gene expression plot which also indicates whether the gene are differentially expressed between the two conditions

- `switchPlotIsoExp` : Generates a isoform expression plot which also indicates whether the isoforms are differentially expressed between the two conditions

- `switchPlotIsoUsage` : Plots the changes in isoform usage (given by IF the values) along with the significance of the change in isoform usage of each isoform. Requires that the result of a differential isoform usage analysis have been performed (for example via isoformSwitchTestDEXSeq).
