Update a QWAdata object with re-read raw data for selected images

Source: R/partial_update.R
update_QWAdata.Rd

Re-reads the raw data files for imgs_to_update, recomputes any derived cell/ring measures and derived flag columns that are already present in x, and splices the result back into the existing QWAdata object.

Usage

update_QWAdata(
  x,
  imgs_to_update,
  meta,
  exclude_mode = c("either", "incomplete_only"),
  reset_manual_flags = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

a QWAdata object

imgs_to_update

character vector of image_label values to update; must be a subset of meta$image_label

meta

a QWAimages object, required for complete_flags() when flag columns are present in x

exclude_mode

passed to complete_flags(); only relevant when the $exclude_issues flag is present in x: how should the $exclude_issues flag column be initialized, to exclude any incomplete or missing rings ("either", default) or only the incomplete rings (i.e., not flagging missing/wedging rings for exclusion from analyses, "incomplete_only").

reset_manual_flags

Logical; if TRUE (default), any manual flag column edits made via the flags Shiny app for the updated images are reset. If FALSE, existing values in the manual flag columns are kept (i.e. this assumes that the dating was not affected by the re-analysis).

Value

An updated QWAdata object

Details

Duplicate-ring flags are recalculated across all images sharing a woodpiece with any updated image, because overlaps may change when one image changes.
