Update SPATA2 object

Updates the input object to the newest version of the package.

updateSpataObject(object, method = NULL, verbose = TRUE, ....)

Arguments

object

An object of class SPATA2 or, in case of S4 generics, objects of classes for which a method has been defined.

method

Character value or NULL. If NULL, the functions tests whether the barcodes of the input object can be mapped to either of the VisiumSmall or VisiumLarge platform. If this does not succeed you must specify the argument. In that case it should be one of base::names(spatial_methods).

Only relevant for updating from SPATA2v2 to SPATA2v3. v3.0.0 and above should not face any problems regarding this.

verbose

Logical. If TRUE, informative messages regarding the computational progress will be printed.

(Warning messages will always be printed.)

....

Used to absorb deprecated arguments or functions.

Value

The updated input object, containing the added, removed or computed results.

Note

SPATA2 objects of version < 2.0.0 can not be updated any longer. If you have such an object and want to transfer the data, please raise an issue at github.
