fold {ChemmineR} | R Documentation

## Fold

### Description

Fold a fingerprint. This takes the second half of the fingerprints and combines with the first half with a logical 'OR' operation. The result is a fingerprint with half as many bits.

### Usage

    fold(x, count = 1, bits = NULL)

### Arguments

`x` | The fingerprint(s) to fold. This can be either an `FP` or an `FPset` object.
`count` | The number of times to fold this fingerprint. Folding will stop early if the fingerprint is reduced down to 1 bit before reaching the requested fold count.
`bits` | Fold this fingerprint until it is `bits` bits long. An exception will be thrown if `bits` is not reachable.

### Value

The new, folded, fingerprint.

### Examples

    	fp = new("FP",fp=c(1,0,1,1, 0,0,1,0))
    	foldedFp = fold(fp,bits=4)
