Class and constructor for n-dimensional rectangular
filter
objects.

This class describes a rectangular region in n dimensions, which is a
Cartesian product of n
orthogonal intervals in these dimensions.
n=1
corresponds to a range gate, n=2
to a rectangle gate,
n=3
corresponds to a box region and n>3
to a hyper-rectangular
regions. Intervals may be open on one side, in which case the value for the
boundary is supposed to be Inf
or -Inf
, respectively.
rectangleGates
are inclusive, that means that events on the
boundaries are considered to be in the gate.
The constructor is designed to be useful in both direct and programmatic
usage. To use it programmatically, you may either construct a named list or
you may construct a matrix with n
columns and 2
rows. The
first row corresponds to the minimal value for each parameter while the
second row corresponds to the maximal value for each parameter. The names
of the parameters are taken from the column names or from the list names,
respectively. Alternatively, the boundaries of the rectangleGate
can
be given as additional named arguments, where each of these arguments should
be a numeric vector of length 2
; the function tries to collapse these
boundary values into a matrix.
Note that boundaries of rectangleGates
where min > max
are
syntactically valid, however when evaluated they will always be empty.
rectangleGate
objects can also be multiplied using the *
operator, provided that both gates have orthogonal axes. This results in
higher-dimensional rectangleGates
. The inverse operation of
subsetting by parameter name(s) is also available.
Evaluating a rectangleGate
generates an object of class
logicalFilterResult
. Accordingly, rectangleGates
can be used to subset and to split flow cytometry data sets.
Returns a rectangleGate
object for use in filtering
flowFrame
s or other flow cytometry objects.
min,max
Objects of class "numeric"
. The
minimum and maximum values of the n-dimensional rectangular
region.
parameters
Object of class "character"
,
indicating the parameters for which the rectangleGate
is
defined.
filterId
Object of class "character"
,
referencing the filter.
Class "parameterFilter"
, directly.
Class "concreteFilter"
, by class
parameterFilter
, distance 2.
Class "filter"
, by class parameterFilter
,
distance 3.
Objects can be created by calls of the form new("rectangleGate",
...)
, by using the constructor rectangleGate
or by combining
existing rectangleGates
using the *
method. Using the
constructor is the recommended way of object instantiation.
signature(x = "flowFrame", table =
"rectangleGate")
: The workhorse used to evaluate the filter on
data. This is usually not called directly by the user, but
internally by calls to the filter
methods.
signature(object = "rectangleGate")
: Print
information about the filter.
signature(e1 = "rectangleGate", e2 =
"rectangleGate")
: combining two rectangleGates
into one
higher dimensional representation.
signature(x = "rectangleGate", i = "character")
:
Subsetting of a rectangleGate
by parameter name(s). This
is essentially the inverse to *
.
See the documentation in the flowViz
package for details on plotting of rectangleGates

## The result of rectangle filtering is a logical subset

split(dat, fres)
## Multiply rectangle gates
rg1 <- rectangleGate(filterId="FSC-", "FSC-H"=c(-Inf, 50))
