Virtual class for raw data sources
xcmsSource-class.Rd
This virtual class provides an implementation-independent way to load
mass spectrometer data from various sources for use in an
xcmsRaw
object. Subclasses can be defined to
enable data to be loaded from user-specified sources. The virtual
class xcmsFileSource
is included out of the box
which contains a file name as a character string.
When implementing child classes of xcmsSource
, a corresponding
loadRaw-methods
method must be provided which accepts
the xcmsSource
child class and returns a list in the format
described in loadRaw-methods
.
