Create Nearest Neighbor Object — createNN • SpatialMap

A user interface to create a NN-class object.

This is just meant to standardize the various representation of nearest neighbors that are out there. Matches dimensions with the analysis it points to.

Usage

createNN(
  name,
  analysis,
  method,
  idx,
  dist,
  make.igraph = FALSE,
  igraph = NULL,
  misc = NULL
)

Arguments

name: The name of the nearest neighbor object. Can refer to how it was made
analysis: Which analysis / region it was made from
method: How the graph was generated (e.g., knn, frnn, del, snn).
idx: The nearest neighbor indices. The first nearest neighbor of a cell is NOT itself
dist: Distance to nearest neighbors in idx
make.igraph: Whether to also create an igraph representation (this is space-inefficient)
igraph: An igraph representation of the NNs
misc: Any additional information
