Name
Microarray::DatasetImageMaker - Creates an image from a microarray dataset
Abstract
Microarray::DatasetImageMaker is a class that accepts a Microarray::Dataset object and produces the images based on the meta data contained in the dataset object. It is meant to separate the image production code into something a little more manageable.
Usage
$imageMaker = Microarray::DatasetImageMaker(dataset=>$dataSetObj);where $dataset is an CdtDataset object class or another concrete Dataset class.
Future Plans
This class should definitely be augmented to make images based on the various tree files
Instance Constructor
new
my $imageMaker = Microarray::DatasetImageMaker->new();
Instance Methods
imageType
returns the suffix for the image type being used for a newly constructed dataset
makeImage
This method actually results in an image being made.
Usage:
$imageMaker->makeImage('dataset' => $self,
'type' => 'matrix');
$imageMaker->makeImage('dataset' => $self,
'type' => 'header'); Protected Methods
_dataset
returns the dataset object used to initialize the imageMaker, if any
_contrast
returns contrast used initialize the imageMaker, either belonging to the dataset or other optional argument
_name
returns file base name of the dataset used initialize the imageMaker, either belonging to the dataset or other optional argument
_imagePath
returns image outpath of the dataset used initialize the imageMaker, either belonging to the dataset or other optional argument
_dataPath
returns data outpath of the dataset used initialize the imageMaker, either belonging to the dataset or other optional argument
_height
returns height of the dataset used initialize the imageMaker, either belonging to the dataset or other optional argument
_width
returns width used initialize the imageMaker, either belonging to the dataset or other optional argument
_colorscheme
returns colorscheme used initialize the imageMaker, either belonging to the dataset or other optional argument
