Manually draw gates around populations for analysis of flow cytometry data.

gate_draw(x, ...)

Arguments

x

object of class flowFrame, flowSet or GatingSet.

...

additional method-specific arguments.

Details

gate_draw is a convenient wrapper for the gating functions shipped with cytoRSuite to facilitate analysis of flow cytometry by gate drawing. Using gate_draw users can specify the type of gate(s) to be constructed through the type argument and gate_draw will automatically handle plotting the data and make calls to the relevant gating function(s) to construct the gates around populations of interest. gate_draw has methods for flowFrame, flowSet and GatingSet objects, refer to their respective help pages for more information. The flowFrame and flowSet methods simply return the constructed gates as a list of filters, whilst the GatingSet method automatically applies the constructed gates to the GatingSet and saves the constructed gates in an openCyto gatingTemplatefor future use. See gate_edit and gate_remove to manipulate constructed gates and modify their entries in the gatingTemplate.
