Generic function to import feature groups produced by other software from files.
importFeatureGroups(path, type, ...)
The path that should be used for importing. See the algorithm specific functions for more details.
Which file type should be imported: "brukerpa"
(Bruker ProfileAnalysis), "brukertasq"
(Bruker TASQ) or "envimass"
(enviMass).
Further arguments passed to the selected import algorithm function.
An object of a class which is derived from featureGroups
.
The featuresSet
method (for sets workflows) returns a
featureGroupsSet
object.
importFeatureGroups
is a generic function that will import feature groups from files by one of the supported algorithms. The actual
functionality is provided by algorithm specific functions such as importFeatureGroupsBrukerTASQ
and importFeatureGroupsBrukerPA
. While these
functions may be called directly, importFeatureGroups
provides a generic interface and is therefore usually preferred.
The featureGroups
output class and its methods and the algorithm specific functions:
importFeatureGroupsBrukerPA
, importFeatureGroupsBrukerTASQ
, importFeatureGroupsEnviMass
groupFeatures
to group features. Other import functions:
importFeatureGroupsXCMS
, importFeatureGroupsXCMS3
and
importFeatureGroupsKPIC2
