Dearl list,

can anyone point me to a function or library that can create a graph similar to 
the one in the following powerpoint presentation?

(pages 36-37)

In order to try to explain the graph, the way I see it in R terms is something 
like this:

the "p-q" axis is a vector of positions (for example, seq(0,5000000,1))
the "Chr1-Chrx" is a vector of units, in this case chromosomes (so something 
like seq(1,10,1))
the plotted data is observations for each unit at each position

I guess the fancy gradient on the highest peaks is tougher to get (knowing I am 
not an R expert), but just plain blue would suffice.

I have checked some of the graphs in the R graph gallery but I don“t think any 
of them would work

Hi Dave,
This is a sort of 2.5D plot, with each chromosome being a 2D plot spaced out on the z axis. If we assume that it is a static viewpoint, it would be a case of drawing the parallelogram "base", then overlaying a sequence of polygons with the appropriate offset to give the 3D appearance. My eyeball says that there is no perspective correction.

Doable, but I would advise asking on the Bioconductor mailing list first.

Jim
