Create a GatingSet and add/remove the flowCore gate(or population) to/from a GatingHierarchy/GatingSet.

Description

GatingSet method creates a gatingset from a flowSet with the ungated data as the root node. add method add the flowCore gate to a GatingHierarchy/GatingSet. gs_pop_set_gate method update the gate of one population node in GatingHierarchy/GatingSet. Rm method Remove the population node from a GatingHierarchy/GatingSet. They are equivalent to the workFlow,add and Rm methods in flowCore package. recompute method does the actual gating after the gate is added,i.e. calculating the event indices according to the gate definition.

Usage

add(gs, gate, ...)

## Default S3 method:
add(gs, gate, ...)

gs_pop_add(gs, gate, validityCheck = TRUE, ...)

gs_pop_remove(gs, node, ...)

Rm(node, gs, ...)

Arguments

gs

A GatingSet

gate

A filter or a list of filters to be added to the GatingSet.

...

some other arguments to specify how the gates are added to the gating tree.

  • names a character vector of length four,which specifies the population names resulted by adding a quadGate.The order of the names is clock-wise starting from the top left quadrant population.

  • parent a character scalar to specify the parent node name where the new gate to be added to, by default it is NULL,which indicates the root node

  • name a character scalar to specify the node name of population that is generated by the gate to be added.

  • recompute a logical flag

  • negated: a logical scalar to specify whether the gate is negated,which means the the population outside of the gate will be kept as the result population. It is FALSE by default.

validityCheck

logical whether to check the consistency of tree structure across samples. default is TRUE. Can be turned off when speed is prefered to the robustness.

node

A character identifies the population node in a GatingHierrarchy or GatingSet to remove

Value

GatingSet method returns a GatingSet object with just root node. add method returns a population node ID (or four population node IDs when adding a quadGate) that uniquely identify the population node within a GatingHierarchy.
