  feat_type = NULL,
  expression_values = c("normalized", "scaled", "custom"),
  metadata_cols = NULL,
  selected_feats = NULL,
  selected_genes = NULL
)

Arguments#

gobject

giotto object

spat_unit

spatial unit

feat_type

feature type

expression_values

expression values to use

metadata_cols
