A class to store mass spectrometry data maps, i.e intensities collected along the M/Z and retention time space during a mass spectrometry acquisition.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created with the MSmap constructor. The constructor has the following arguments:

object

An object created by mzR::openMSfile or an instance of class OnDiskMSnExp. If the latter contains data from multiple files, a warning will be issued and the first one will be used.

lowMz

A numeric of length 1 defining the lower bound of the M/Z range of the MS map.

highMz

A numeric of length 1 defining the upper bound of the M/Z range of the MS map.

resMz

The resolution along the M/Z range.

hd

An optional data.frame as produced by mzR::header(object). If missing, will be computer within the function. Ignored when object is an OnDiskMSnExp.

zeroIsNA

Set 0 intensities to NA. This can be used to clarify the 3 dimensional plot produce by plot3D.

Slots

call:

Object of class "call" - the call used to generate the instance.

map:

Object of class "matrix" containing the actual MS map.

mz:

Object of class "numeric" with the M/Z sampling bins.

res:

Object of class "numeric" storing the the M/Z resolution used to create the map.

rt:

Object of class "numeric" with the retention times of the map spectra.

ms:

Object of class "numeric" with the MS levels of the spectra.

t:

Object of class "logical" indicating if the instance has been transposed.

filename:

Object of class "character" specifying the filename of the original raw MS data.

Methods

coerce

signature(from = "MSmap", to = "data.frame"): convert the MSmap instance in a data.frame. Useful for plotting with lattice or ggplot2.

fileName

signature(object = "MSmap"): returns the raw data filename.

msLevel

signature(object = "MSmap"): returns the MS level of the map spectra.

msMap

signature(object = "MSmap"): returns the actual map matrix.

mz

signature(object = "MSmap", ...): returns the M/Z values of the map. Additional arguments are currently ignored.

rtime

signature(object = "MSmap", ...): returns retention time values of the map. Additional arguments are currently ignored.

mzRes

signature(object = "MSmap"): returns the resolution with which the sample along the M/Z range was done.

dim

signature(x = "MSmap"): returns the dimensions of the map. ncol and nrow return the number of columns and rows respectively.

t

signature(x = "MSmap"): transposes the map.

show

signature(object = "MSmap"): prints a summary of the map.

plot

signature(x = "MSmap", allTicks = "logical"): produces an image of the map using lattice::levelplot. By default, allTicks is TRUE and all M/Z and retention times ticks of drawn. If set to FALSE, only 10 ticks in each dimension are plotted.

plot3D

signature(object = "MSmap", rgl = "logical"): produces an three dimensional view of the map using lattice::cloude(..., type = "h"). If rgl is TRUE, the map is visualised on a rgl device and can be rotated with the mouse.

    ## the map
    M3 <- MSmap(msn, ms1[rtsel], 521, 523, .005)
