Hi Mousami,
Yes, you can use data matrix or vector for sure. With pathview package loaded, just check the help info for the pathview function by typing in:
?pathview
Read the description for argument “gene.data”.

The .rda is just a data file format for storage in the hard disk, after loading the data into R (console or command line session), you get your R data objects in any formats like matrix, vector, data.frame, list etc.
You may follow the first tutorial example in page 3 of the vignette, and check the format of input data:
head(gse16873.d)
class(gse16873.d)

HTH.

 Dear Weijun
 Luo,

 Greetings from Mousami.
 Myself working as a Research Fellow on
 R-programming. 

 I have tried
 "pathview" package with the example r-script given
 in the bioconductor site. But in this work most of the work
 has completed by using .rda file. In the Supplementary file
 uploaded on "http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/06/11/bioinformatics.btt285.full", mentioned that format could be
 both such as matrix or vector. 

 So, can I do my work with the help of
 data matrix or vector generated on R-programming
 console?

 Otherwise, I request you to please let
 me know the way of converting vector and matrix format into
 .rda format.

 Please do the needful.
 Thank you for your time.
