extract aspects of a vector for concise rendering
selectSome(obj, maxToShow=5)
obj |
vector |
maxToShow |
number of elements to render |
This function can be used in 'show' methods
to give users exemplars of the tokens used in a vector.
For example, an ExpressionSet built from
a yeast experiment might have features enumerated using
systematic gene names (e.g., YPR181C) or standard gene names (e.g., SEC23).
The show method for ExpressionSet uses
selectSome to alert the user to the tokens used, and thereby
to indicate what vocabulary must be understood to work with the feature names.
A string vector with at most maxToShow plus 1 elements,
where an ellipsis ("...") is included to indicate incompleteness
of the excerpt.
