Hi Steffan, I'd be interesting in using your 295 lines of code right away if you'd be willing to send me a copy.

I would be glad to add the code to the gplots package, which already serves as a 'grab bag' of graphical tools. -G On Oct 5, 2007, at 10:23AM , Dick Beyer wrote: > Hi Steffan, > > I'd be interesting in using your 295 lines of code right away if > you'd be willing to send me a copy. > > Thanks much, > Dick > ********************************************************************** > ********* > Richard P.

Deal List, I had this problem a while back, so I had extended the limma vennDiagram function to work with 4 (not more) using the ellipse method some have eluded to. An example can be found http://bioinfo-mite.crb.wsu.edu/Rcode/pmaVenns.pdf and the code can be found http://bioinfo-mite.crb.wsu.edu/Rcode/Venn.R Feel free to use and modify Matt Settles >Dear Steffen, > >In principle I'd be very happy to extend the vennDiagram() function >in limma to more than 3 groups. So please send me your code. Your >email seems too good to be true though, because it's geometrically >impossible to draw Venn diagrams for 4 groups with circles.
