makeBoxplot4PlateType {RNAither} | R Documentation

## Generate a boxplot of the data per plate

### Description

Generates a boxplot comparing the same plates in different experiments.

### Usage

    makeBoxplot4PlateType(header, dataset, channel, plotTitle, showPlot)

### Arguments

`header` | the header of a dataset file generated with `generateDatasetFile`
`dataset` | an R data frame generated with `generateDatasetFile`
`channel` | a character string specifying the column whose values will be used for the boxplot
`plotTitle` | the plot title
`showPlot` | 0 or 1. 1 will open one or several plot windows in the R GUI, 0 will only save the plot(s) without opening windows.

### Value

For each plate type, a boxplot of intensity values per experiment will be saved as a pdf and a png file named after the experiment name specified in the header concatenated with the `plotTitle` and the number of the plate.

The function returns a list containing:

`plotName` | the plotname
`minOfPlates` | the number of the first experiment
`numOfPlates` | the number of the last experiment
