other: Saving other seed classes

In LTLA/DelayedArraySaver: Save Delayed Operations to a HDF5 File

Saving other seed classes

Description

Optional methods to save other classes, depending on the availability of the packages in the current R installation.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'ANY'
saveDelayedObject(x, file, name)

Arguments

x	An R object of a supported class, see Details.
file	String containing the path to a HDF5 file.
name	String containing the name of the group to save into.

Details

The ANY method will dispatch to classes that are implemented in other packages:

• If x is a LowRankMatrixSeed from the BiocSingular package, it is handled as a delayed matrix product.

• If x is a ResidualMatrixSeed from the ResidualMatrix package, it is converted into the corresponding series of delayed operations. However, the top-level group will contain a "r_type_hint" dataset to indicate that it was originally a ResidualMatrix object. This provides R clients with the opportunity to reload it as a ResidualMatrix, which may be more efficient than the naive DelayedArray representation.

• Otherwise, if x comes from package Y, we will try to load chihaya.Y. This is assumed to define an appropriate saveDelayedObject method for x.

Value

A NULL, invisibly. A group is created at name containing the contents of x.

Examples

# Saving a matrix product.
library(BiocSingular)
left <- matrix(rnorm(100000), ncol=20)
right <- matrix(rnorm(50000), ncol=20)
thing <- LowRankMatrix(left, right)
temp <- tempfile()
saveDelayed(thing, temp)
rhdf5::h5ls(temp)
loadDelayed(temp)
