lineplot: Lineplot¶
Docstring:
Usage: qiime vizard lineplot [OPTIONS] Basic lineplot for visualizing two numeric Metadata measures with optional grouping. All numeric columns present in the Metadata will be available as drop-down options on the Y-axis, but the chosen `x_measure` remains fixed. Parameters: --m-metadata-file METADATA... (multiple Any metadata-like input with at least two numeric arguments will be measures for visualizing. merged) [required] --p-x-measure TEXT Numeric measure from the input Metadata that should be plotted on the x-axis. [required] --p-y-measure TEXT Numeric measure from the input Metadata that should be plotted on the y-axis. [required] --p-replicate-method TEXT Choices('none', 'median', 'mean') The method for averaging replicates if present in the chosen `x-measure`. Available methods are `median` and `mean`. [default: 'none'] --p-group-by TEXT Categorical measure from the input Metadata that should be used for grouping the lineplot. [optional] --p-title TEXT The title of the lineplot. [optional] Outputs: --o-visualization VISUALIZATION [required] Miscellaneous: --output-dir PATH Output unspecified results to a directory --verbose / --quiet Display verbose output to stdout and/or stderr during execution of this action. Or silence output if execution is successful (silence is golden). --example-data PATH Write example data and exit. --citations Show citations and exit. --use-cache DIRECTORY Specify the cache to be used for the intermediate work of this action. If not provided, the default cache under $TMP/qiime2/will be used. IMPORTANT FOR HPC USERS: If you are on an HPC system and are using parallel execution it is important to set this to a location that is globally accessible to all nodes in the cluster. --help Show this message and exit.

All numeric columns present in the Metadata will be available as drop-down options on the Y-axis, but the chosen `x_measure` remains fixed. Parameters ---------- metadata : Metadata Any metadata-like input with at least two numeric measures for visualizing. x_measure : Str Numeric measure from the input Metadata that should be plotted on the x-axis. y_measure : Str Numeric measure from the input Metadata that should be plotted on the y-axis. replicate_method : Str % Choices('none', 'median', 'mean'), optional The method for averaging replicates if present in the chosen `x_measure`. Available methods are `median` and `mean`. group_by : Str, optional Categorical measure from the input Metadata that should be used for grouping the lineplot. title : Str, optional The title of the lineplot. Returns ------- visualization : Visualization
