Helper function to stitch field coordinates together to form one complete picture

stitchFieldCoordinates(
location_file,
offset_file,
cumulate_offset_x = F,
cumulate_offset_y = F,
field_col = "Field of View",
X_coord_col = "X",
Y_coord_col = "Y",
reverse_final_x = F,
reverse_final_y = T
)

## Arguments

location_file

location dataframe with X and Y coordinates

offset_file

dataframe that describes the offset for each field (see details)

cumulate_offset_x

(boolean) Do the x-axis offset values need to be cumulated?

cumulate_offset_y

(boolean) Do the y-axis offset values need to be cumulated?

field_col

column that indicates the field within the location_file

X_coord_col

column that indicates the x coordinates

Y_coord_col

column that indicates the x coordinates

reverse_final_x

(boolean) Do the final x coordinates need to be reversed?

reverse_final_y

(boolean) Do the final y coordinates need to be reversed?

## Value

Updated location dataframe with new X ['X_final'] and Y ['Y_final'] coordinates

## Details

Stitching of fields:

• 1. have cell locations: at least 3 columns: field, X, Y

• 2. create offset file: offset file has 3 columns: field, x_offset, y_offset

• 3. create new cell location file by stitching original cell locations with stitchFieldCoordinates

• 4. provide new cell location file to createGiottoObject
