Appendix C — FAQs

C.1 I have multiple plate layout files. How can I input them?

Use the getPlateLayout() function to create a master plate layout file to then input into the other functions in the package!

getPlateLayout("your/folder/with/plate/layouts/")

Here replace “your/folder/with/plate/layouts/” with the main file that contains your folders. For example, if your folder looks like this:

my_R_project/
└── raw_data_files/
    ├── plate_1/
    │   ├── raw_magpix_data_plate1.csv
    │   └── plate_layout_1.xlsx
    ├── plate_2/
    │   ├── raw_magpix_data_plate2.csv
    │   └── plate_layout_2.xlsx
    └── plate_3/
        ├── raw_magpix_data_plate3.csv
        └── plate_layout_3.xlsx

you would write:

getPlateLayout("raw_data_files/")

you could ALSO write:

getPlateLayout()

OR:

getPlateLayout(folder_path = c("plate_layout_1.xlsx", "plate_layout_2.xlsx", "plate_layout_3.xlsx"))
