An efficient way to find neuron skeleton ids interactively or in any function that can take skids as an input.
catmaid_skids(x, several.ok = TRUE, conn = NULL, ...)
x | one or more skids or a query expression (see details) |
---|---|
several.ok | Logical indicating whether we can allow multiple skids. |
conn | A |
... | additional parameters passed to |
integer
vector of skids (of length 0 on failure).
If the inputs are numeric or have length > 1 they are assumed already to be skids and are simply converted to integers.
If the input is a string starting with "name:" or "annotation:" they are
used for a query by catmaid_query_by_name
or
catmaid_query_by_annotation
, respectively.
If the input is a string that cannot be interpreted as a number but does not start with "name:" or "annotation:", it is assumed to be an exact match for an annotation.
# NOT RUN { # these are just passed through catmaid_skids(1:10) # nb these are all regex matches catmaid_skids("name:ORN") catmaid_skids("name:PN") # there will be multiple annotations that match this catmaid_skids("annotation:ORN") # but only one that matches this (see regex for details) catmaid_skids("annotation:^ORN$") # As a special case this looks for an exact match annotation for "ORN" catmaid_skids("ORN") # }
