[BioC] venn diagrams

[Natasha Sahgal]

Hi Stefi,

Perhaps the venn.diagram function in the VennDiagram package might be useful.


HTH,

Not sure, but this thread seems to suggest gplots has some venn diagram capability and also mentions another package called venneuler:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/venneuler/index.html

But still, assuming you have Vennerable's dependencies installed, I suspect you can get Vennerable to install if you specify type="source". Instead of this:

Try:

install.packages("Vennerable", repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org",
type="source")

(or you can also svn checkout the package and `R CMD INSTALL` from the command line)

HTH,
