selectSome {Biobase} | R Documentation |
extract aspects of a vector for concise rendering
selectSome(obj, maxToShow=5)
obj |
vector |
maxToShow |
number of elements to render |
This function can be used in 'show' methods
to give users exemplars of the tokens used in a vector.
For example, an ExpressionSet
built from
a yeast experiment might have features enumerated using
systematic gene names (e.g., YPR181C) or standard gene names (e.g., SEC23).
The show
method for ExpressionSet
uses
selectSome
to alert the user to the tokens used, and thereby
to indicate what vocabulary must be understood to work with the feature names.
A string vector with at most maxToShow
plus 1 elements,
where an ellipsis ("...") is included to indicate incompleteness
of the excerpt.
