Utilities for FlowCam Data

This package provides tools for working with particle and imagery data produced on a FlowCam.

Getting started

This package is currently in development, and is hosted on GitHub. To install,

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("DICELab-NCSU/flowcamr")
library("flowcamr")

Functionality

1. Harvesting metadata

• get_flowcam_meta operates on 'Run Summaries' .csv files that have been exported from Visual Spreadsheet. Metadata are gathered across all files supplied, summarized into a data frame, and optionally exported to a .csv summary.

2. Generating barcodes

• mk_barcodes generates a PDF of QR-style barcodes that can be printed on sticky labels for robust, automated sample identification. Additional data can be included in the barcode that is not displayed in the human-readable text using the experiment argument.

mk_barcodes("my_barcodes.pdf", experiment = "gladiators", resident = "AB", invader = "CD", reps = 20:30)
