                                 labWorksheet=TRUE,

                              resolution = NULL))

Arguments

slideName

The name of the slide in the SpatialOverlay object

scanMetadata

A list containing the scan metadata: panel(s) used, Physical sizes (x,y) for scale bar, fluorescence data, and segmentation info

overlayData

An SpatialPosition containing individiual sample info: SampleID, Height, Width, X&Y coordinates in overall scan, segmentation, and base64 encoded position

coords

An optional data.frame with coordinates derived from the encoded position.

plottingFactors

An optional data.frame with annotations to plot on. These can be added using addPlottingFactor

workflow

A list containing meta-data on the processing workflow including "outline", "labWorksheet", & "scaled". These booleans are kept automatically in readSpatialOverlay and are used for logic gates in downstream processing

image

A list containing location of and pointer to the image: "filePath", "imagePointer", & "resolution"

Value

An S4 class containing image data from a NanoString GeoMx experiment

Accessing

SpatialOverlay objects have the following accessor methods:

sampNames(object)

extracts the sample names of each ROI in the slide.

slideName(object)

extracts the slide name.

overlay(object)

extracts the SpatialPosition information for each ROI.

scanMeta(object)

extracts the scan metadata.

scanMeta(object)

coords(object): extracts the coordinates for the entire scan.

plotFactors(object)

extracts avaliable plotting factors.

labWork(object)

extracts the boolean if a lab worksheet was used.

outline(object)

extracts the boolena if only the outline points were generated.

seg(object)

extracts if there are any segmented ROIs in the slide.

scaleBarRatio(object)

extracts the scale bar ratio from scanMeta for the X axis

fluor(object)

extracts fluorenscence information for the scan.

showImage(object)

prints image.

res(object)

extracts resolution of image.

workflow(object)

extracts workflow data.

scaled(object)

extracts if coordinates have been scaled.

imageInfo(object)

extracts image data.

Class to Contain NanoString Spatial Overlay ROI information

Description

The SpatialPosition class organizes the pertinant ROI specific information from the OME-TIFFs

Usage

SpatialPosition(position)

Arguments

position

data.frame containing information from the OME-TIFF:

"ROILabel" order of ROIs

"Sample_ID" unique identifier

"Height" total height of ROI

"Width" total width of ROI

"X" top left corner (x coordinate) of ROI in total scan

"Y" top left corner (y coordinate) of ROI in total scan

"Segmentation" part of segmented ROI

"Position" base64 encoding of coordinates

Value

An S4 class containing image data from a NanoString GeoMx experiment

Accessing

SpatialPosition objects have the following accessor methods:

spatialPos(object)

returns SpatialPosition object

meta(object)

extracts the metadata for each ROI, does not include the base64 encoding.

position(object)

extracts the base64 encoding for each ROI, CAUTION: very long strings.
