prw2uname: Convert and parse well unique names

In imageHTS: Analysis of high-throughput microscopy-based screens

Description

Functions to convert and parse well unique names.

Usage

prw2uname(plate, replicate, row, col, well)
uname2prw(uname)
rowcol2well(row, col)
well2rowcol(well)
well2wellid(row, col, direction='row', dim)

Arguments

plate	An numeric vector of plate indices or a list containing the numeric vectors plate, replicate, row and col.
replicate	A numeric vector of replicate indices.
row	A numeric vector of row indices.
col	A numeric vector of column indices
well	A character vector of well names.
uname	A character vector of well unique names.
direction	A character string containing the direction of the mapping. Valid values are row and col. Default is row, where the well identifier 2 points is mapped to well (1, 2)

.

dim	A numeric vector of length two, containing the dimensions (number of rows, number of columns) of a plate

.

Details

In prw2uname, wells can be specified using the arguments row and col or using the argument well.

Value

prw2uname returns a character vector of well unique names. uname2prw returns a data frame containing the columns plate, replicate, row and col. rowcol2well returns a character vector of well names. well2rowcol returns a data.frame containing the numeric vectors row and col. well2wellid returns a numeric vector containing the well identifiers.

print(u)
prw = uname2prw(u)
print(prw)
prw2uname(prw)

## rowcol2well and well2rowcol
w = rowcol2well(row=1:3, col=5:7)
print(w)
rc = well2rowcol(w)
print(rc)
