readtrackData: Reads tracking data from a specified file.

In BioTrajectory: Image Processing Tools for Barnes Maze Experiments

Reads tracking data from a specified file.

Description

Reads a text file containing tracking data, where each line represents coordinates. If a line contains "null", it adds NA values for that entry. Optionally, it can remove rows with NA values.

Usage

readtrackData(file, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

file	A character string specifying the path to the file containing the tracking data.
na.rm	A logical value indicating whether to remove rows with NA values (default is FALSE).

Value

An object of class 'trayectoria' containing the points (coordinates) of the object in each frame. The 'trayectoria' object will include the 'x' and 'y' coordinates. If no object is detected in a frame, the corresponding coordinates will be set to 'NA' in the 'trayectoria' object.

Examples

# Read tracking data from a file
path <- system.file('extdata/track.txt', package='BioTrajectory')
tracking_data <- readtrackData(path, na.rm = TRUE)
# Print the resulting data frame
print(tracking_data)
