download_gmr_stacks: Download the registered GMR stacks for given ids

In jefferis/vfbr: R Package to Access the Virtual Fly Brain project API

Download the registered GMR stacks for given ids

Description

Download the registered GMR stacks for given ids

Usage

download_gmr_stacks(
  ids,
  download.dir = getOption("vfbr.stack.downloads"),
  Force = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

ids	Character vector of GMR ids specified in any way
download.dir	The download directory
Force	Whether to force the download.
...	Additional arguments passed to download.file

Details

Note that the downloading tries to be a little bit clever, by

1. wrapping the download.file call in a try expression in case it fails

2. caching the download.file call so if the destination file already exists it will not re-download the file.

If caching gives you unexpected behaviour, you can set Force=TRUE.

Value

Named character vector of paths to downloaded files
