[BioC] Re-scaling MA plot Y axis in LimmaGUI?

[Keith Satterley]

Jose,

I'm checking what you say. The resize Window only adjusts the scale of 
the whole plot window, not the scale on either axis.

There isn't a way of adjusting the scales on the axis in limmaGUI, 
though it is being considered as a future modification.

If an M value is not being plotted, try a different background 
correction method. The Subtract method(the default in limmaGUI) may 
produce some negative values, which are hence excluded. Use None 
instead. There will soon be a change to limmaGUI that includes the 
normexp algorithm which is currently available in limma.

Your right about the command line limma program - more features are 
currently available using it. We plan to add more features to the GUI 
programs. Your comments on which ones (other than settable scale 
parameters) are welcome.

cheers,

Keith
