lhns

R Package containing neuron skeleton data relevant to the lateral horn of the vinegar fly, Drosophila melanogaster. For use with nat. In development.

What's in the package currently?

# install
if (!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jefferislab/lhns")
  
# use
library(lhns)
plot3d(most.lhns)
?most.lhns
plot_pnts()

Remaking data

To remake the data from scratch, I recommend opening the rstudio project and then:

source("data-raw/make.R")

To use this, you will then need to reinstall the lhns package - you can easily do this like so:

devtools::update_packages('jefferislab/lhns')

LHN cell types

If you need to alter an LHN cell type classification, you need to edit processLHNs.R and then follow the steps above i.e. source("data-raw/make.R").

Note: Windows users need Rtools and devtools to install this way.
