getUnames: Get well unique names
In imageHTS: Analysis of high-throughput microscopy-based screens

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Build valid well unique names, according to the screen layout and to input filter arguments. Each well in the screen has an unique name, based on its plate, replicate, row and column indices.

1	getUnames(x, plate, replicate, row, col, content)

`x`	An imageHTS object.
`plate`	An optional numeric vector indicating the plate indices to keep.
`replicate`	An optional numeric vector indicating the replicate indices to keep.
`row`	An optional numeric vector indicating the row indices to keep.
`col`	An optional numeric vector indicating the column indices to keep.
`content`	An optional character string indicating the well content type to keep.

Well content types are defined in the plateconf.txt configuration file. See getWellFeatures for details.

Well unique names can be also built and manipulated using prw2uname and uname2prw.

A character vector containing a set of well unique names that are compatible with the input filter arguments.
