# Utility functions for CytoImageList subsetting
# -------------------------------------------------------

#' @title General subsetting methods for CytoImageList objects
#' @name CytoImageList-subsetting
#'
#' @description
#' These getter and setter functions are used to extract, replace and merge
#' entries in a \code{\linkS4class{CytoImageList}} object.
#'
#' @param x,y \code{CytoImageList} objects
#' @param i integer, logical, character or vector of such indicating which
#' element(s) to replace or extract
#' @param value a \code{CytoImageList} or \code{\linkS4class{Image}}
#' object
#'
#' @section Setting and getting images:
#' Functions to extract and replace elements (= images) of a
#' \linkS4class{CytoImageList} object. In the following code, \code{x} is a
#' CytoImageList object. The parameter \code{i} indicates the element(s) of
#' \code{x} that should be returned or replaced. Replacement is done by
#' \code{value}, which takes a CytoImageList or Image object. If \code{length(i)
#' > 0}, \code{value} has to be a CytoImageList object of \code{length(i)},
#' otherwise \code{value} allows a CytoImageList object of length 1 or an Image
#' object. If an Image object is provided, only the image entry in the
#' CytoImageList object is replaced, not the corresponding elementMetadata
#' entry.
#'
#' \describe{
#' \item{\code{getImages(x, i)}}{Returns image(s) indicated by \code{i} of
#' the CytoImageList object \code{x}}
#' \item{\code{setImages(x, i) <- value}}{Replaces the image(s) indicated by
#' \code{i} of the CytoImageList object \code{x} with \code{value}. For this,
#' \code{value} needs to have the same length as \code{i}}
#' }
#'
#' These setter and getter functions are the recommended way of extracting and
#' replacing images in a CytoImageList object. Alternatively, the standard
#' operations via \code{`[`}, \code{`[[`}, \code{`[<-`} and \code{`[[<-`} can be
#' performed (see \code{?\link{List}} for S4Vectors subsetting functionality).
#' However, these operations do not change element names during replacment
#' calls. The \code{setImages()} function makes sure that element names are
#' replaced if \code{value} is named or if \code{i} is a character or vector of
#' characters.
#'
#' @section Getting and setting channels:
#' Functions to extract and replace channels of a \linkS4class{CytoImageList}
#' object. Here, \code{x} is a \linkS4class{CytoImageList} object. The parameter
#' \code{i} indicates the channels of \code{x} that should be returned or
#' replaced. Replacement is done by \code{value}, which takes a CytoImageList
#' object. The CytoImageList object \code{value} needs to have the same length
#' as \code{x}. Furthermore, the number of channels in \code{value} should be
#' identical to \code{length(i)}.
#'
#' \describe{
#' \item{\code{getChannels(x, i)}}{Returns channel(s) indicated by \code{i} of
#' the CytoImageList object \code{x}}
#' \item{\code{setChannels(x, i) <- value}}{Replaces the channel(s) indicated
#' by \code{i} of the CytoImageList object \code{x} with \code{value}. For this,
#' \code{value} needs to have the same length as \code{i} and the same
#' number of channels as \code{length(i)}.}
#' }
#'
#' The \code{setChannels()} setter function does not allow adding new channels
#' to the CytoImageList object. For this operation, the \code{mergeChannels}
#' function was implemented (see below).
#'
#' @section Merging images:
#' Merging images is possible by merging two or more CytoImageList objects via:
#'
#' \describe{
#' \item{\code{c(x, y)}}{Returns an composite CytoImageList object with
#' elements of both CytoImageList objects \code{x} and \code{y}.
#' More than two CytoImageList objects can be merged in that way.}
#' }
#'
#' @section Merging channels:
#' Merging channels is possible via:
#'
#' \describe{
#' \item{\code{mergeChannels(x, y, h5FilesPath = NULL)}:}{
#' Returns a CytoImageList in which the channels of the CytoImageList object
#' \code{y} have been appended to the channels of the CytoImageList object
#' \code{x}. Only channels of two CytoImageList objects can be merged in that
#' way. The \code{h5FilesPath} argument can be ignored unless images are stored 
#' on disk. To avoid overriding the .h5 files, one needs to specify a new
#' location where the merged images are stored on disk. 
#' }
#' }
