object	An object of class SPATA2 or, in case of S4 generics, objects of classes for which a method has been defined.

...	Used to absorb deprecated arguments or functions.

Value

Character vector

Examples

library(SPATA2)
library(patchwork)

data("example_data")

object <- example_data$object_UKF269T_diet

p_before <- plotSurface(object, color_by = "bayes_space")

plot(p_before)

getGroupNames(object, grouping = "bayes_space")

object <- relevelGroups(object, grouping = "bayes_space", new_levels = c("1", "2", "3", "7", "6", "5", "4"))

getGroupNames(object, grouping = "bayes_space")

p_afterwards <- plotSurface(object, color_by = "bayes_space")

# different levels -> different order -> different color assignment
p_before + p_afterwards
