## Arguments

chrom

Chromosome of genome label, as a string, or a character vector of chromosomes for a whole genome Manhattan plot.

chromstart

Integer start of genome label.

chromend

Integer end of genome label.

assembly

Default genome assembly as a string or a assembly object.

fontsize

A numeric specifying text fontsize in points. Default value is fontsize = 10.

fontcolor

A character value indicating the color for text. Default value is fontcolor = "black".

linecolor

A character value indicating the color of the genome label axis. Default value is linecolor = "black".

margin

A numeric or unit vector specifying space between axis and coordinate labels. Default value is margin = unit(1, "mm"),

scale

A character value indicating the scale of the coordinates along the genome label. Default value is scale = "bp". Options are:

• "bp": base pairs.

• "Kb": kilobase pairs. 1 kilobase pair is equal to 1000 base pairs.

• "Mb": megabase pairs. 1 megabase pair is equal to 1000000 base pairs.

commas

A logical value indicating whether to include commas in start and stop labels. Default value is commas = TRUE.

sequence

A logical value indicating whether to include sequence information above the label of an x-axis (only at appropriate resolutions).

boxWidth

A numeric value indicating the width of the boxes representing sequence information at appropriate resolutions. Default value is boxWidth = 0.5.

axis

A character value indicating along which axis to add genome label. Sequence information will not be displayed along a y-axis. Default value is axis = "x". Options are:

• "x": Genome label will be plotted along the x-axis.

• "y": Genome label will be plotted along the y-axis. This is typically used for a square Hi-C plot made with plotHicSquare.

at

A numeric vector of x-value locations for tick marks.

tcl

A numeric specifying the length of tickmarks as a fraction of text height. Default value is tcl = 0.5.

x

A numeric or unit object specifying genome label x-location.

y

A numeric, unit object, or character containing a "b" combined with a numeric value specifying genome label y-location. The character value will place the genome label y relative to the bottom of the most recently plotted plot according to the units of the plotgardener page.

length

A numeric or unit object specifying length of genome label axis.

just

Justification of genome label relative to its (x, y) location. If there are two values, the first value specifies horizontal justification and the second value specifies vertical justification. Possible string values are: "left", "right", "centre", "center", "bottom", and "top". Default value is just = c("left", "top").

default.units

A string indicating the default units to use if x, y, or length are only given as numerics. Default value is default.units = "inches".

params

An optional pgParams object containing relevant function parameters.

...

Additional grid graphical parameters or digit specifications. See gpar and formatC.

## Value

Returns a genomeLabel object containing relevant genomic region, placement, and grob information.
