I am trying to use the xyplot to plot data from a single FCS (version 3) file, but receive an error that the markers cannot be found, despite the fact that I can find them using getChannelMarker.

>data <- read.FCS("test.FCS", column.pattern = "^[FS0-9][S0-9]")
>getChannelMarker(data, "FSC")
     name desc
$P11  FSC <NA>
>getChannelMarker(data, "SSC")
     name desc
$P13  SSC <NA>
>xyplot("FSC" ~ "SSC", data=data)
Error in getChannelMarker(frm, channel.x.name) : can't find "SSC"

The FCS file I am using can be downloaded from google drive here:

I get the same error if I load the FCS file into a flowSet rather than a flowFrame.

Any insights into what I am doing wrong here?  Thank you!

You don't want the regular quote marks in the formula( type help(formula) for more details).

simply removing 'quotes' will do

xyplot(FSC ~ SSC, data)

Or quote it with backticks If you have special characters

xyplot(`FSC-A` ~ `SSC-A`, data)

 

Also, if you don't mind to endeavor  to use `dev` version, please check out 'ggcyto' package (https://github.com/RGLab/ggcyto), it uses `ggplot-like` syntax which is the de facto of trellis plotting nowadays)
