pick_parameters-methods: Pick channel names

In flowQB: Automated Quadratic Characterization of Flow Cytometer Instrument Sensitivity: Q, B and CV instrinsic calculations

Description

Extract all channel names from a flowFrame object or column names from a matrix except those specified in a provided ignore list.

Usage

    pick_parameters(object, ignore)

Arguments

object	Object of class flowFrame or a matrix.
ignore	A vector of channel names that we want to ignore

Details

This method simply looks at all channel names in the provided flowFrame object or all column names of a matrix, then subtracts those specified in the ignore list and returns the resulting vector of channel/column names.

Value

A vector of character strings containing channel names of channels that were in the input flowFrame object (or columns of the input matrix) but were not included in the provided ignore list.
