SpatialMap: Spatial biology API and exploratory analysis

SpatialMap is a suite of tools intended to facilitate exploratory analysis of spatial biology data. It is a package based around several interconnected S4 classes and their methods.

Details

The SpatialMap package is powered by several nested S4 classes for object-oriented programming and their methods. Those classes, or objects, are:

• SpatialMap

• Region

• Analysis

• Representation

• NN (nearest neighbors)

The package provides an interface such that users should primarily only need to interact with the main SpatialMap object. However, documentation for each of the other classes is provided, and more information about a particular object can be found using the str() method on the console.

For more details see the help vignettes:

• vignette("intro", "SpatialMap")

• vignette("manipulate", "SpatialMap")

• vignette("access", "SpatialMap")
