celToApd {aroma.apd}R Documentation

Generates an APD file from an Affymetrix CEL file

Description

Generates an APD file from an Affymetrix CEL file.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
celToApd(filename, apdFile=NULL, mapType="asChipType", writeMap=NULL, ..., verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

filename

The pathname of the CEL file.

apdFile

An optional pathname of the APD file, otherwise it will be the same as the CEL file with extension replaced with 'apd'.

mapType

The type of read map for the generated APD file. If NULL, no remapping of the cell indices is done. If "asChipType", the map type is the same as the chip type of the CEL file. If any other character string, it sets the map type to that string. Note that there must be a APD map file with this type that can be found by findApdMap().

writeMap

An optional write map integer vector used to remap the cell indices for optimal reading speed. If NULL, the write map may be obtained from the read map file specified by the mapType argument.

...

Additional arguments passed to writeApd().

verbose

A Verbose object.

Value

Returns (invisibly) the pathname of the written APD file.
