FCS file Concatenation

Description

Concatenates all input data to a single file or object.

Usage

concatFCS(x, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'flowSet'
concatFCS(x, out_path = NULL, fn = NULL,
  fn_sep = "_", by_time = TRUE, file_num = FALSE, pars = NULL,
  desc = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'character'
concatFCS(x, out_path = NULL, fn = NULL,
  fn_sep = "_", by_time = TRUE, file_num = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'list'
concatFCS(x, out_path = NULL, fn = NULL,
  fn_sep = "_", by_time = TRUE, file_num = FALSE)

Arguments

x

can be either a flowSet, a list of flowFrames, a character specifying the location of the FCS files to be concatinated, or a vector of FCS file names.

...

optional arguments.

out_path

character string. If specified, an FCS file of the concatenated data will be written to this location. If NULL (default), a flowFrame will be returned.

fn

a character string to use as the output file name. Defaults to the file name of the first input FCS file or flowFrame, respectively.

fn_sep

a character string to use to separate the output file name's prefix from the appendage.

by_time

logical. Specifies whether files should be ordered by time of acquisition.

file_num

logical. Specifies whether a file number column should be added.

pars, desc

optional character vectors of channel names & descriptions to use when merging files.

Value

a flowFrame containing measurement intensities of all input data or a character of the FCS file name.
