Picking one cell in a mutant — SpatialSimulation$choose_cell

This method chooses one cell among those of a mutant.

Arguments

mutant: The mutant of the cell to choose.
lower_corner: The lower corner of the rectangular selection (optional).
upper_corner: The upper corner of the rectangular selection (optional).

Value

A list reporting cell_id, mutant, epistate, position_x, and position_y of the choosen cell.

Details

It randomly chooses one of the cells of a mutant. Optionally, the lower and upper corners of a tissue rectangular selection can be provided to obtain one cell in the rectangle.

Examples

# set the seed of the random number generator
set.seed(0)

# create a simulation
sim <- SpatialSimulation()
