1 Setup and load example dataset

# Ensure Giotto Suite is installed
if(!"Giotto" %in% installed.packages()) {
  pak::pkg_install("drieslab/Giotto")
}

# Ensure Giotto Data is installed
if(!"GiottoData" %in% installed.packages()) {
  pak::pkg_install("drieslab/GiottoData")
}

library(Giotto)

# Ensure the Python environment for Giotto has been installed
genv_exists <- checkGiottoEnvironment()

if(!genv_exists){
  # The following command need only be run once to install the Giotto environment
  installGiottoEnvironment()
}
# load the object
g <- GiottoData::loadGiottoMini("starmap")

2 Create Cross Section

g <- createCrossSection(
    gobject = g,
    method = "equation",
    equation = c(0, 1, 0, 600),
    extend_ratio = 0.6,
    name = "new_cs",
    return_gobject = TRUE
)

3 Plot cross section

3.1 2D

crossSectionPlot(g, 
                 name = "new_cs")

3.2 3D

crossSectionPlot3D(g, 
                   name = "new_cs")

4 Plot cross section feature plot

4.1 2D

crossSectionFeatPlot(g,
                     feats = c("Mbp", "Flt1"),
                     name = "new_cs",
                     cow_n_col = 1)

4.2 3D

crossSectionFeatPlot3D(g,
                       feats = "Mbp",
                       name = "new_cs",
                       cow_n_col = 1)
