deepTools plot profile problem

Question

[elisheva]

Hi everyone!

I hope that someone who familiar with deepTools could help me. I've got into a problem while trying to plot profile using deepTools plotProfile option. I tried to add a title to the graph by the following command: --plotTitle "Damage distribution" but still get the title 'Genes' above it.

This is the obtained pic:

These are my commands:

computeMatrix scale-regions \
  -S first.bw second.bw \
  -R exons.bed \
  --regionBodyLength 140 \
  -o matrix.mat.gz
plotProfile \
  -m matrix.mat.gz \
  -out Exons.png \
  --perGroup \
  --startLabel "Start" \
  --endLabel "140b" \
  --colors '#DAA521''#006401' \
  --plotTitle "Damage distribution" \
  --samplesLabel transcribed nonTranscribed

What happens If you provide this parameter just with SPACE in double quotes for plotProfile,

--regionsLabel " "

Your sample label is "genes" because you used --perGroup. Try adding --regionsLabel " "

Thanks to you and @EagleEye, it worked!!
