Hi, I try to create PNG images of a certain size where each pixel intensity corresponds to exactly one probe signal in an Affymetrix array. I try to use png() and image() with zero margins to do this. Example:
z <- matrix(1:15, nrow=45, ncol=30)
png("large.png", height=nrow(z), width=ncol(z), bg="red")
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
image(z, col=gray.colors(16), axes=FALSE)
dev.off()
z <- matrix(1:15, nrow=5, ncol=3)
png("tiny.png", height=nrow(z), width=ncol(z), bg="red")
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
image(z, col=gray.colors(16), axes=FALSE)
dev.off()
The problem is that on WinXP the very bottom row and the very right
column of pixels in red. Trying on Linux, it is only the very right
column that is red. See attached images (you might have to zoom in to
see it). I try to do this in R v2.3.1. The same effect is seen if
the jpeg() device is used.
When rescaling, the same effect is seen (the red border effect is one
pixel wide), e.g.
z <- matrix(1:15, nrow=45, ncol=30)
png("large5.png", height=5*nrow(z), width=5*ncol(z), bg="red")
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
image(z, col=gray.colors(16), axes=FALSE)
dev.off()
I might be asking for something that is not supported, but is there a
way around this? It is a problem, because I wish to tile the images
in an HTML page.
Thanks
Henrik
