In ornelles/virustiter: Virus Titer and Related Functions for Fluorescent Micrographs

Create data.frame with Tag, Prefix, Well, Row and Column

Description

Create a data.frame representing a multi-well plate with an optional prefix.

Usage

make.plate(n, prefix = NULL, digits = NULL, upper = TRUE, byrow = TRUE)

Arguments

n	the number of wells (6, 12, 24, 48, 96, or 384)
prefix	optional character vector of prefix values
digits	optional integer value to zero-pad the column labels
upper	logical flag to use upper case for row labels
byrow	logical value specifying organization

Details

Generate a data.frame suitable for typical phenodata. The tag is formed by replicating the prefix and pasting it in front of each well value.

Value

A data.frame of length three or five with the following items. Note that values for tag and prefix will be returned only if a non-NULL value for prefix is provided.

• tag, harmonized character representation of the entire well name including any prefix, if a prefix was provided

• prefix, prefix as a character string, if provided

• well, harmonized well name as a factor

• row, row as a factor

• column, column number as a factor

Examples

  make.plate(6)
  make.plate(6, upper = FALSE)
  make.plate(12, 1:3)
  make.plate(24, 1:6)$tag # typical use to generate "OTE" labels
