| readCytoSet {prada} | R Documentation |
Create a cytoSet object from one or more FCS 3.0 files
readCytoSet(files=NULL, path=".", pattern=NULL, phenoData, sep="\t", ...)
files |
Optional character vector with filenames |
path |
Directory where to look for the files |
pattern |
This argument is passed on to dir (see
details). |
phenoData |
Either an object of class phenoData or
character. |
sep |
Separator character that gets passed on to
read.phenoData. |
... |
Further arguments that get passed on to
read.phenoData, see details. |
There are three different ways to specify the file names:
First, if the argument phenoData is present and is of class
phenoData, then it is
obtained from its column name. The column is mandatory, and an
error will be generated if it is not there.
Alternatively, the argument phenoData can be of class
character, in which case this function tries to read a
phenoData object from the file with that name by
calling
read.phenoData(file.path(path,
phenoData), ...).
Second, if the argument phenoData is not present and
the argument files is not NULL, then files
is expected to be a character vector with the file names.
Third, if neither the argument phenoData is present nor
files is not NULL, then the file names are obtained by
calling dir(path, pattern).
An object of class cytoSet.
