Hi, I'm using flowCore and flowStats to transform a few parameters and normalize them to 'line up the peaks' using the gaussNorm function in the flowStats package.  I'd like to be able to apply an inverse logicle when I'm finished to undo the transformation so I can re-export the normalized files and then transform several parameters of my choosing in a 3rd party clustering application downstream of this step.

However, I'm not clear on how to correctly use inverseLogicleTransform in my workflow.  It seems that estimateLogicle results in a transformlist object but inverseLogicleTransform expects an object of the class "transform".  What am I missing here?  It seems that the parameters for the logicle transformation don't exist yet at the step of having the transformlist object, but it seems I need them to define a proper transform object to use for the argument to inverseLogicleTransform.


Example code:

myflowset <- read.flowSet(pattern = ".fcs", path = ".", alter.names = TRUE, transformation = FALSE, emptyValue = FALSE)

mycolnames <- as.character(colnames(exprs(myflowset[[1]])))

ChnlsToTrans <- mycolnames[c(29,33,34)]

translist <- estimateLogicle(myflowset[[2]], ChnlsToTrans)

myflowset <- transform(myflowset, translist)

#...other code here to do normalization on exprs data...

invLgcl <- inverseLogicleTransform(trans = translist) #inverse logicle


Last line above results in this error:

"Error in inverseLogicleTransform(trans = translist) : 
  trans has to be an object of class "transform"
            created using the "logicleTransform" function"

Right, it is current not easy to such inversion directly on the result from 'estimateLogicle' since it is a special object "transformList" and 'inverseLogicleTransform' expects a `transform` object which is typically created using the 'logicleTransform' function.

Currently the only way is using `cytoUtils::print.logicle` convenient function to print the parameters estimated by `estimateLogicle` and re-construct the 'transform` object by hand and then call 'inverseLogicleTransform' to get inverse function.

Before we implement anything, this is the best you can do. Sorry.
