  verbose = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

sample_name	Character value. The name of the sample you want to download. Use validSampleNames() to obtain all valid input options.

folder	Character value. If character, specifies the output folder in which the spata object is saved. Defaults to the working directory.
file	The filename of the spata object. Must end with '.RDS'. By default the file it is 'NULL' which makes the function skip the saving step. Set to character, if you want the object to be saved.

...	Used to absorb deprecated arguments or functions.
