Get Distance Matrix — getDistMat • CoPro

A unified accessor function for distance matrices that uses flat structure for efficient access.

Usage

getDistMat(
  object,
  cellType1,
  cellType2,
  slide = NULL,
  returnTranspose = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

# S4 method for class 'CoProSingle'
getDistMat(
  object,
  cellType1,
  cellType2,
  slide = NULL,
  returnTranspose = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

# S4 method for class 'CoProMulti'
getDistMat(
  object,
  cellType1,
  cellType2,
  slide = NULL,
  returnTranspose = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

object: A CoPro object (CoProSingle or CoProMulti)
cellType1: First cell type name
cellType2: Second cell type name
slide: Slide ID (required for CoProMulti objects, ignored for CoProSingle)
returnTranspose: If TRUE, forces return of transpose when accessing symmetric matrices
verbose: Whether to print detailed error messages

Value

Distance matrix as a numeric matrix
