[BioC] Pairs plots in lumi, plots look different?

[Pan Du]

Yes, as Matthias mentioned, we use random subset to increase the efficiency
of plotting. To avoid variations over different plots, I have added the
"seed" parameter to the these plot functions. Please check the latest
developing version of lumi 1.7.3. Thanks for using lumi!

Best regards,


Pan
