[BioC] pathview - plotting multiple samples in the same graph?

Hi Peter,
You need to update your pathview to the latest release version, which is 1.2.3. It is at:
http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/pathview.html
The update history:
http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/news/pathview/NEWS

This current release version includes all recent update features, like multiple samples/time series in one graph, and handling of all KEGG species.Your version is pathview_1.1.4, which doesn’t really plot multiple samples in the same graph. To ensure smooth installation, I would suggest you update your R/Bioconductor to the latest version too. Of course, you may always download and install pathview_1.2.3 manually from the link above.
HTH,
Weijun

 Dear List,

 I recently decided to give the pathview package a try as I
 would like to map multiple samples data on the same pathway
 (ie a given node/gene in a KEGG pathway can consist of more
 than one color).


 After reading the vignette "Pathview: pathway based
 data integration and visualization" (version Nov9 2013)
 I decided to try and reproduce the examples from Chapter 7.2
 (page 13-14).
 However, I'm not able to reproduce figure 6 exactly, as
 the genes associated to each of the 3 samples inside the
 gse16873.d matrix seems to be plotted to individual pathways
 (that is, I end up with 3 png files instead of just 1 for
 propanoate metabolism) once I run the pathview() command. I
 have tried playing around with the multi.state and
 same.layer arguments inside the pathview command, but always
 end up with 3 png files (one for each sample).


 I have tried do the example on multiple machines, but end up
 with the same negative result.
 Has anyone managed to reproduce figure 6 in the vignette?
 and if so, did you have to tweak the code in the vignette a
 bit?
