- spatial_coord
A data frame of the spatial coordinates. The columns should include "Spot_ID", "imagerow", and "imagecol". And the row names must be the names of "Spot_ID", which is the same as the rownames in cell type proportion data frame or the colnames of the gene* spot expression data frame
- resultdf_list
A result of data frame list from the output of run_SpaCCI(..., analysis_scale = "local",...) `dataframelist`
- RegionIDs_matrix
A result of matrix list from the output of run_SpaCCI(..., analysis_scale = "local",...) `RegionIDs_matrix`
- celltype_ligand
Ligand cell type string inputted by user, the name of the cell type should match the names in the `spot_cell_proportion_dataframe` during the run_SpaCCI analysis.
- celltype_receptor
Receptor cell type string inputted by user, the name of the cell type should match the names in the `spot_cell_proportion_dataframe` during the run_SpaCCI analysis.
- plot_size
As this function incorporate with Seurat's `SpatialFeaturePlot`, this parameter could control the plotting size of the each spot.
- L_R_pair_name
Initially this is set to NULL, if one is interested in a specific Ligand-Receptor pair, then one could specify the L_R_pair_name here. Note: the input name should match the L-R pair name exists in the dataframe in the output of SpaCCI_local "dataframelist".
- alpha
This is the significant cutoff for the adjusted-p-value of thr permutation test. Initially this is set to 0.05, one could adjust the cutoff.
