design file option for venn()

Feature requests
1

Hi,

It would be quite convenient to have the option of giving a design file to venn() for which the Venn diagram would be calculated over the treatments instead of the groups. This would greatly facilitate working with a lot of samples of a few treatments surpassing the groups option which is already available.

Kind regards,

As a workaround you could do the following:

merge.groups(shared=yourSharedFile, design=yourDesignFile)
venn(shared=current)
