Read a Q-View well-assignment template CSV

Source: R/read_qview_template.R

[Experimental]

Usage

read_qview_template(path, verbose = TRUE, call = rlang::caller_env())

Arguments

path

Path to the template file (csv).

verbose

Logical. Print a short summary after parsing. Default TRUE.

call

The execution environment of the calling function. Used for error reporting; experts only.

Value

A tibble::tibble() with one row per well and columns well (character, e.g. "A1"), plate_row (character, "A"..), plate_col (integer), sample_id (character), group_type (character), dilution (numeric).

Details

Parses the plate-template CSV that Q-View imports for sample assignment. The file uses a multi-section layout: an NxM cell in the top-left declares the plate dimensions, followed by sections labelled Group Name, Group Type, and Dilution Factor. Each section is one row per plate row and one column per plate column.

All template data is also embedded inside the .Q-View file itself (and is recovered by read_qview()); this function exists for setting up new plates or cross-validating Q-View imports against the original template.
