isCentroidedFromFile: Get mode from mzML data file
In MSnbase: Base Functions and Classes for Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

The function extracts the mode (profile or centroided) from the raw mass spectrometry file by parsing the mzML file directly. If the object x stems from any other type of file, NAs are returned.

1	isCentroidedFromFile(x)

`x`	An object of class OnDiskMSnExp.

This function is much faster than isCentroided(), which estimates mode from the data, but is limited to data stemming from mzML files which are still available in their original location (and accessed with fileNames(x)).

A named logical vector of the same length as x.
