createCelHeader(filename = NULL, cdf = NULL, version = 4,
  cols = NULL, rows = NULL, algorithm = "Percentile",
  parameters = NULL, chiptype = NULL, header = NULL,
  datheader = NULL, librarypackage = "", cellmargin = 4,
  noutliers = 0, nmasked = 0, tags = NULL)

Arguments

filename

the name of the CEL file that the header will be written to

cdf

the cdf for the CEL file

version

the version number of the CEL file to be created

cols

the number of columns for the CEL file. Ignored if a cdf is supplied

rows

the number of rows for the CEL file. Ignored if a cdf is supplied

algorithm

a text string to be written to the $algorithm component

parameters

a text string to be written to the $parameters component

chiptype

a text string defining the chiptype to be written. Ignored if a cdf is supplied

header

a text string to be written to the $header component. Must be in the correct format

datheader

a text string to be written to the $datheader component. Must be in the correct format

librarypackage

a text string to be written to the $librarypackage component. Defaults to ""

cellmargin

a text string to be written to the cellmargin component

noutliers

the value to be written to the $noutliers component

nmasked

defaults to zero

tags

An optional text string which will be placed before the filename in the $datheader component

Details

This function will output a list in the correct format for generation of a blank CEL file using createCel.

Many of the input values are redundant, but must be included to pass checks during the creation of CEL files.

If a cdf is specified, any values for cols, rows or chiptype will be ignored, and those on the cdf will be used.

Value

Returns a list with the following components:
