get_cand_merge_cells: Find candidate merge cells

In vicstefanou/ViSCA: Cell-Movie Analysis and Visualization

Description

Returns the candidate cells for a given cell to be merged with, in the same or different lineage tree.

Usage

get_cand_merge_cells(LT, cell, LTcand = NULL, cell_list, col_list, Ncols,
  show = TRUE)

Arguments

LT	The lineage tree where the cell specified in cell belongs, an object of class "igraph".
cell	The label of the cell in the LT for which to find candidate merge cells, a character string. It can be any non-root cell, as returned from get_cells.
LTcand	The lineage tree where the candidate merge cells of cell will belong, an object of class "igraph". When the default value NULL is used, candidate merged cells will belong in the LT.
cell_list	A list containing all the cell instants of the movie.
col_list	A list containing all the colony instants of the movie.
Ncols	Number of colonies in the movie, a non-zero positive integer value.
show	A logical value (TRUE or FALSE) indicating whether view_cell will be called for the cell and the candidate merge cells. This capability is useful in order to choose the desired merge cell and call merge_cells. The default value is TRUE.

Details

Candidate merge cells are cells of the same colony and frame with least one common pixel with the given cell.

Value

The labels of the candidate merge cells, a vector of character strings. In case no candidate merge cells are found, NULL is returned.

Prerequisites

This function can be used by BaSCA users only, importing the data with import_basca.
