ImageFileSet-class: The ImageFileSet class

ImageFileSet-classR Documentation

The ImageFileSet class

Description

ImageFileSet is a subclass of FileSet that is specialised for images, by pre-populating the format and auxiliary file specification (although this can be overridden) and by supporting file mapping using the FileMap class. If a file set exists on disk and in a map then the files take priority.

Fields

defaultMap

A list representing a default file map which will be consulted in the absence of on-disk files or an existing file map to try to resolve paths.

Methods

atPaths(paths)

Return a handle object to manipulate files at specific paths

findFormat(paths, intent = c("read", "write"), preference = NULL, all = FALSE)

Identify and potentially validate files to find the format used at specific paths

resolvePaths(paths)

Perform any special path handling and resolve final paths
