Generic function to import feature groups produced by other software from files.
importFeatureGroups(input, type, ...)The input object or path that should be imported. See the algorithm specific functions for more details.
What type of data should be imported: "xcms", "xcms3", "kpic2", "table",
"brukerpa" (Bruker ProfileAnalysis), "brukertasq" (Bruker TASQ) or "envimass".
Further arguments passed to the selected import algorithm function.
An object of a class which is derived from featureGroups.
importFeatureGroups is a generic function that will import feature groups from files by one of the supported algorithms. The actual
functionality is provided by algorithm specific functions such as importFeatureGroupsXCMS3 and importFeatureGroupsTable. While these
functions may be called directly, importFeatureGroups provides a generic interface and is therefore usually preferred.
