gh_generate_template {openCyto} | R Documentation

## generate a partially complete csv template from the existing gating hierarchy

### Description

To ease the process of replicating the existing (usually a manual one) gating schemes, this function populate an empty gating template with the 'alias', 'pop', 'parent' and 'dims' columns that exacted from an `GatingHierarchy`, and leave the other columns (e.g. 'gating_method') blank. So users can make changes to that template instead of writing from scratch.

### Usage

    gh_generate_template(gh)

### Arguments

`gh` | a `GatingHierarchy` likely parsed from a xml workspace

### Value

a gating template in `data.frame` format that requires further edition after output to csv

### Examples

    library(flowWorkspace)
    dataDir <- system.file("extdata",package="flowWorkspaceData")
    gs <- load_gs(list.files(dataDir, pattern = "gs_manual",full = TRUE))
    gh_generate_template(gs[[1]])
