getMarkerClasses {pRoloc} | R Documentation

## Returns the organelle classes in an 'MSnSet'

### Description

Convenience accessor to the organelle classes in an 'MSnSet'. This function returns the organelle classes of an `MSnSet` instance. As a side effect, it prints out the classes.

### Usage

    getMarkerClasses(object, fcol = "markers", ...)

### Arguments

`object` | An instance of class `"MSnSet"`.
`fcol` | The name of the markers column in the `featureData` slot. Default is `markers`.
`...` | Additional parameters passed to `sort` from the base package.

### Value

A `character` vector of the organelle classes in the data.

`getMarkers` to extract the marker proteins. See `markers` for details about spatial markers storage and encoding.

### Examples

    library("pRolocdata")
    data(dunkley2006)
    organelles <- getMarkerClasses(dunkley2006)
    ## same if markers encoded as a matrix
    dunkley2006 <- mrkVecToMat(dunkley2006, mfcol = "Markers")
    organelles2 <- getMarkerClasses(dunkley2006, fcol = "Markers")
    stopifnot(all.equal(organelles, organelles2))
