nameSegments: Name Segments

In farrellja/URD: URD

Description

This stores the names of tips for use in plotting. segment.names is used on dendrogram-style plots (plotTree). They are also used on force-directed layout plots plotTreeForce, unless short.names is set, in which case those shorter names are used. (Labels are horizontal on the force-directed layout, so it is our recommendation that a series of 2-4 letter abbreviations for each cell population are used.) For terminal segments of the tree that are not given a name, this function will determine their children and (if named) combine the names of the segment's children. (This is in case, for instance, two populations immediately fuse into a single segment.) Segment numbers to use in this function are easily determined using plotTree with label.segments=T.

Usage

nameSegments(object, segments, segment.names, short.names = NULL, sep = "+")

Arguments

object	An URD object
segments	(Character Vector) Segment numbers to name
segment.names	(Character Vector) Names to use for segment
short.names	(Character Vector, optional) Short names to use when labeling tips in 3D layout
sep	(Character) Separator to use for combining tip names, if needed.
