flowMerge (version 2.20.0)

flowObj-class: Class "flowObj"

Description

A class inheriting from flowClust that groups the model and data in a single object.

Arguments

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("flowObj", ...). Has a convenience method flowObj(flowClustObj, flowFrameObj) for creating instances of the class.

Slots

DATA:
An "environment" that holds a pointer to the flowFrame data in position [[1]].

Extends

Class "flowClust", directly.

Methods

getData
signature(obj = "flowObj"): Retreives the contents of the DATA environment
merge
signature(x = "flowObj", y = "missing"): the flowMerge algorithm is called via this function on objects of type flowObj.
plot
signature(x = "flowObj", y = "missing"): A simplified plotting method. Does not require specification of the data since it is contained in the flowObj object. Takes most of the same parameters as plot.flowClust, except the data parameter
