This method searches a set of rectangular tissue samples.

Arguments

min_num_of_cells

A named integer vector reporting the minimum number of cells per species or mutant.

num_of_cells

The number of cells in the searched sample.

width

The width of the searched sample.

height

The height of the searched sample.

n_samples

The number of searched samples.

seed

The seed of the random generator the select the samples among those satisfying the constraints (optional).

Value

A vector of n_samples rectangular tissue samples that satisfy the aimed constraints.

Details

The aimed samples mush satisfy the specified number of cells. The sizes of the samples are also provided a parameter of the method. This method takes asymptotic time \(\Theta(|\textrm{tissue width}|*|\textrm{tissue height}|)\).
