Description

Returns the name of the parent population or a character/numeric vector of all the children of the current population in the given GatingHierarchy

## S4 method for signature 'GatingSet,character'
getParent(obj, y, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'GatingSet,character'
getChildren(obj, y, showHidden = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

`obj`	A `GatingHierarchy`
`y`	a `character/numeric` the name or full(/partial) gating path or node indices of the node / population.
`...`	other arguments passed to getNodes methods
`showHidden`	`logical` whether to include the hidden children nodes.

getParent returns a character vector, the name of the parent population. getChildren returns a character or numeric vector of the node names or node indices of the child nodes of the current node. An empty vector if the node has no children.

Examples

  ## Not run: 
    #G is a gatinghierarchy
    #return the name of the parent of the fifth node in the hierarchy.
    getParent(G,getNodes(G[[1)[5])
    n<-getNodes(G,tsort=T)[4];
    getChildren(G,n);#Get the names of the child nodes of the 4th node in this gating hierarchy.
    getChildren(G,4);#Get the ids of the child nodes
