Choose active male VNC / FlyEM dataset — choose_malevnc

choose_malevnc_dataset chooses the dataset that will be used by the male VNC package.

choose_flyem_dataset is a generic function underneath choose_malevnc_dataset. It is intended primarily for developers of other packages.

Usage

choose_malevnc_dataset(dataset = NULL, set = TRUE, use_clio = NA)

choose_flyem_dataset(dataset = getOption("malevnc.dataset"), set = TRUE)

Arguments

dataset: Character vector specifying dataset name. Default value of NULL will respect package options or choose default dataset if none set.
set: Whether to set the relevant package options or just to return the,
use_clio: Whether to use clio to list datasets (expert use only; default of use_clio=NA should do the right thing).

Value

A list of options (when set=FALSE) or the previous value of those options, mimicking the behaviour of options.

Details

For choose_malevnc_dataset the dataset will be one of MANC (release) or VNC (pre-release) dataset. Note the latter will only be available for authenticated collaborators of the FlyEM team. When dataset=NULL the options("malevnc.dataset") will be checked, then the environment variable MALEVNC_DATASET and finally the default value (MANC i.e. released dataset) will be selected.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# switch dataset
op <- choose_malevnc_dataset("MANC")
on.exit(options(op))
# reset the previous state
options(op)
} # }
