Find the spatial neighbors for a selected group of cells within the selected spatial network.

findNetworkNeighbors(
  gobject,
  spat_unit = NULL,
  spatial_network_name = NULL,
  source_cell_ids = NULL,
  name = "nb_cells"
)

Arguments

gobject

Giotto object

spat_unit

spatial unit

spatial_network_name

name of spatial network

source_cell_ids

cell ids for which you want to know the spatial neighbors

name

name of the results

Value

data.table
