Description

Flow Cytometry Standard (FCS) files 'FCS' objects, using the version of read.series.FCS in rflowcyt on October 1, 2005.

The data come from a screening of a compound library. The screening was performed on a cell line. The name of one file corresponds to the position of the sample (cell line aliquot) in a 96 wells plate.

Usage

## function, see examples for details

Examples

 ## Example I
 if (require(rflowcyt)) {

 ##obtaining the location of the fcs files in the data
  pathFiles <- system.file("bccrc", package="rfcdmin")
  drugFiles <- dir(pathFiles)

 ## reading in the FCS files
  drugData <- read.series.FCS(drugFiles, path=pathFiles, MY.DEBUG=FALSE)
 }

 ## Example II
 if (require(rflowcyt)) {
    ## obtaining the location of the fcs files in the data
    A06path <- paste(system.file("bccrc", package="rfcdmin"), "A06",sep="/")
    
    ## reading in the FCS files
    A06 <- read.FCS(A06path)
 }
