Import feature groups from files

Description

Generic function to import feature groups produced by other software from files.

Usage

importFeatureGroups(path, type, ...)

Arguments

path	The path that should be used for importing. See the algorithm specific functions for more details.
type	Which file type should be imported: "brukerpa" (Bruker ProfileAnalysis), "brukertasq" (Bruker TASQ) or "envimass" (enviMass).
...	Further arguments passed to the selected import algorithm function.

Details

importFeatureGroups is a generic function that will import feature groups from files by one of the supported algorithms. The actual functionality is provided by algorithm specific functions such as importFeatureGroupsBrukerTASQ and importFeatureGroupsBrukerPA. While these functions may be called directly, importFeatureGroups provides a generic interface and is therefore usually preferred.

Value

An object of a class which is derived from featureGroups.

The featuresSet method (for sets workflows) returns a featureGroupsSet object.
