saveMTR

Source: R/saveMTR.R
saveMTR.Rd

Saves MTR data to a .rds file in the directory filepath. If the directory is not existing it will be created if possible.

Usage

saveMTR(
  mtr,
  filepath,
  fileName = NULL,
  fileNamePrefix = NULL,
  dbName = NULL,
  rotSelection = NULL,
  pulseTypeSelection = NULL,
  classAbbreviations = NULL
)

Arguments

mtr

dataframe with MTR values created by computeMTR()

filepath

character string, path of the directory. If the directory does not exist it will be created if possible.

fileName

Filename (string) for the file. If not set, the filename will be built using the input of the variables 'filenamePrefix', 'dbName', 'classAbbreviations', and other info in the 'mtr' data. If set, overrides the automatic filename creation.

fileNamePrefix

prefix of the filename (string). If not set, "mtr" is used. Different information about the MTR data will be appended to the filename.

dbName

character string, name of the database. Used to create the filename, if 'fileName' is not provided.

rotSelection

numeric vector, rotation selection which was used to filter protocols. Used to create the filename, if 'fileName' is not provided. If not set, the rotation selection will not be appended to the filename.

pulseTypeSelection

character vector, pulse type selection which was used to filter protocols. Used to create the filename, if 'fileName' is not provided. If not set, the pulse type selection will not be appended to the filename.

classAbbreviations

Two-column dataframe with character first column named 'class' and character second 'abbr', containing the full names of the classes and their abbreviations to use in the output filename. Default = NULL, meaning the abbreviations will be used that are stored in the package; See data(classAbbreviations). Used to create the filename, if 'fileName' is not provided.

Value

No return value, used to save MTR to file.
