RTCAtimeline-class: Class "RTCAtimeline"

In RTCA: Open-source toolkit to analyse data from xCELLigence System (RTCA)

Description

Time line of actions performed by the xCelligence device, supporting CRUD manipulations (create, read, update and delete).

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("RTCAtimeline"). However, it is more common to be called implicitly by creating an instance of RTCA object.

Slots

actionTrack:

Object of class "data.frame", records action track in the form of two-column data.frame. The two columns must have the names ‘time’ and ‘action’.

timeUnit:

Object of class "character", recording the unit of time points stored in the actionTrack slot.

startTime:

Object of class "POSIXct", the absolute time when the measurement started (at the time point ‘0’)

Methods

addAction

signature(object = "RTCAtimeline", time = "numeric", action = "character"): add action at the specified time

actionTrack

signature(object = "RTCAtimeline"): get the action track in the form of data.frame

actionTrack<-

signature(object = "RTCAtimeline", value = "data.frame"): assign the action track

getAction

signature(object = "RTCAtimeline", time = "numeric"): get action at the specified time

orderAction

signature(object = "RTCAtimeline"): order the action track by the time

reset

signature(object = "RTCAtimeline"): undo all editing of the object and reset it to the initial state

rmAction

signature(object = "RTCAtimeline", time = "numeric"): remove the action at the specified time

timeUnit

signature(object = "RTCAtimeline"): return the time unit used by the actiont track

timeUnit<-

signature(object = "RTCAtimeline", value = "character"): assign the time unit used by the actiont track
