This function checks that the sce object has the appropriate structure. This is a legacy function and we highly encourage you to use SpatialExperiment-class objects and check them with check_spe().

check_sce(
  sce,
  variables = c("GraphBased", "ManualAnnotation", "Maynard", "Martinowich",

Arguments

sce

Defaults to the output of fetch_data(type = 'sce'). This is a SingleCellExperiment object with the spot-level Visium data and information required for visualizing the histology. See fetch_data() for more details.

variables

A character() vector of variable names expected to be present in colData(sce).

Value

The input object if all checks are passed.

Examples


if (enough_ram()) {
    ## Obtain the necessary data
    if (!exists("sce_example")) sce_example <- fetch_data("sce_example")

    ## Check the object
    check_sce(sce_example)
}
