metaLevels {dittoSeq} | R Documentation |
Gives the distinct values of a meta.data slot (or ident)
metaLevels(meta, object, cells.use = NULL, used.only = TRUE)
meta |
quoted "meta.data.slot" name = REQUIRED. the meta.data slot whose potential values should be retrieved. |
object |
A Seurat, SingleCellExperiment, or SummarizedExperiment object. |
cells.use |
String vector of cells'/samples' names OR an integer vector specifying the indices of cells/samples which should be included. Alternatively, a Logical vector, the same length as the number of cells in the object, which sets which cells to include. |
used.only |
TRUE by default, for target metadata that are factors, whether levels nonexistent in the target data should be ignored. |
String vector, the distinct values of a metadata slot (factor or not) among all cells/samples, or for a subset of cells/samples.
(Alternatively, returns the distinct values of clustering if meta = "ident"
and the object is a Seurat
object).

meta
for returning an entire metadata slots of an object
, not just the potential levels
getMetas
for returning all metadata slots of an object
isMeta
for testing whether something is the name of a metadata slot
example(importDittoBulk, echo = FALSE) metaLevels("clustering", object = myRNA) # Note: Set 'used.only' (default = TRUE) to FALSE to show unused levels # of metadata that are already factors. By default, only the in use options # of a metadata are shown. metaLevels("clustering", myRNA, used.only = FALSE)
