Dear BioC users,
I am assessing the quality of 20 Affymetrix arrayx of the type
HGU-133-Plus-2 through the AffyPLM package.
Due to memory problems, I am using a remote PC with 2Gb of RAM with
a
Linux OS (I have very little experience using X OS).
Everything is OK, but I can?t plot the image obtained with AffyPLM
with
this command:
> image(Pset,which=1)
The fact of using a remote connection, forces the use of postscript
as the
only way to obtain an image (I can?t open the X11 device with others
commands as jpeg).
I obtain these errors
A) Problems with the margins:
>postscript("QC.ps")
>par(mfrow=c(7,3))
>image(Pset,which=1)
Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large
B) Problems with the file size:
>postscript("QC.ps")
>par(mfrow=c(7,3), mar=rep(1, 4))
>image(Pset,which=1)
>image(Pset,which=20)
>dev.off()
The file obtained has a size of 805Mb, which is too big to work with
it.
I have tried to modify the values of mar (mar=c(0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1)) and
the
file have the same size. Moreover, I have tried to modify the
postscript
size postscript("QC.ps", width=1, height=1), without success.
Is any way to solve this problem? (Probably there is a really easy way
which
due to my inexperience I can?t found, sorry. I have been googling
without
success). In other studies, using jpeg command and a Windows OS, the
images
produced have a reasonable size and the images are scaled to the
dimensions
of the plot.
