readCelRectangle {affxparser} | R Documentation

## Reads a spatial subset of probe-level data from Affymetrix CEL files

### Description

Reads a spatial subset of probe-level data from Affymetrix CEL files.

### Usage

    readCelRectangle(filename, xrange=c(0, Inf), yrange=c(0, Inf), ..., asMatrix=TRUE)

### Arguments

`filename` | The pathname of the CEL file.
`xrange` | A `numeric` `vector` of length two giving the left and right coordinates of the cells to be returned.
`yrange` | A `numeric` `vector` of length two giving the top and bottom coordinates of the cells to be returned.
`...` | Additional arguments passed to `readCel`().
`asMatrix` | If `TRUE`, the CEL data fields are returned as matrices with element (1,1) corresponding to cell (xrange[1],yrange[1]).

### Value

A named `list` CEL structure similar to what `readCel`(). In addition, if `asMatrix` is `TRUE`, the CEL data fields are returned as matrices, otherwise not.
