registerPlugins(fun = NA, methodName, dep = NA, ...)function to be registeredcharacter name of the gating or preprocessing methodcharacter name of the library dependency required for the plugin method to work.character specifying the type of registering method. Should be either "gating" or "preprocessing".logical TRUE if successful and prints a message. FALSE otherwise.fun argument should be a wrapper function definition for the gating or preprocessing method.
Gating method must have formal arguments: fr a flowFrame
pp_res a pre-processing result
xChannel character (optional)
yChannel character (required)
filterId character
... ellipses for the additional parameters.
Preprocessing method must have formal arguments:
fs a flowSet that stores the flow data (could be subgrouped data if groupBy column is defined in the csv template
gs a GatingSet
gm a gtMethod object that stores the information from gating method
xChannel character (required)
yChannel character (required)
... ellipses for the additional parameters.
The gating function must return a filter (i.e. polygonGate or other instance) from flowCore. The preprocessing can return anything and it will be passed on to the gating function. So it is up to gating function to use and interpret the results of preprocessing. Not all formal parameters need to be used. Additional arguments are passed via the ... and can be processed in the wrapper
