Abstraction of subitems within a qQA process

This class bundles graphs and aggregators for a single flowFrame. This allows to create processes with subcomponents, where each item in the frameAggregators and frameGraphs lists corresponds to one subprocess, which can be used, for instance, to create individual plots for each flow channel. For QA processes without subcomponents, these slots would simply not be populated.

Objects should be created using the constructor:

qaProcessFrame(frameID, summaryAggregator, summaryGraph, frameAggregators, frameGraphs, details) where frameID is the ID of the flowFrame the process is linked to, summaryAggregator is an object inheriting from class qaAggregator which summarizes the outcome, summaryGraph is an object of class qaGraph which is the overview graph of the process for the whole frame, details is a list containing any additional information regarding the QA process, frameAggregators is an object of class aggregatorList and frameGraphs is an object of class qaGraphList. The latter two are the collections of aggregators and graphs for each subprocess. Only frameID and summaryAggregator are mandatory arguments.

id:: Object of class "character", a unique ID of the object
frameID:: Object of class "character", ID of the flowFrame the process is linked to
summaryAggregator:: Object of class "qaAggregator", an aggregator summarizing the output of the process
summaryGraph:: Object of class "qaGraph", a graphical summary of the process
frameAggregators:: Object of class "aggregatorList" a list of aggregators for the subprocesses
frameGraphs:: Object of class "qaGraphList" a list of graphical summaries for the subprocesses
details:: A list for any additional information
