gt_load: Load a gen_tibble

In tidypopgen: Tidy Population Genetics

Load a gen_tibble

Description

Load a gen_tibble previously saved with gt_save(). If the .rds and .bk files have not been moved, they should be found automatically. If they were moved, use reattach_to to point to the .rds file (the .bk file needs to be in the same directory as the .rds file).

Usage

gt_load(file = NULL, reattach_to = NULL)

Arguments

file	the file name, including the full path. If it does not end with .gt, the extension will be added.
reattach_to	the file name, including the full path, of the .rds file if it was moved. It assumes that the .bk file is found in the same path. You should be able to leave this to NULL unless you have moved the files.

Value

a gen_tibble

Examples

example_gt <- load_example_gt("gen_tbl")

# remove some individuals
example_gt_filtered <- example_gt %>% filter(id != "a")

# save the filtered gen_tibble object
backing_files <- gt_save(example_gt_filtered,
  file_name = paste0(tempfile(), "_example_filtered")
)

# backing_files[1] contains the name of the saved .gt file
backing_files[1]

# To load the saved gen_tibble object, use the path to the saved .gt file
reloaded_gt <- gt_load(backing_files[1])

# And we have loaded the gt without individual "a"
reloaded_gt
