convert2bed: convert object to bed format

Description

checks if an object can be converted into a bed style data.frame then does the conversion.

Usage

convert2bed(
	x,
	set.type = TRUE,
	check.zero.based = TRUE,
	check.chr = TRUE,
	check.valid = TRUE,
	check.sort = TRUE,
	check.merge = TRUE,
	verbose = TRUE
	)

Value

Returns x converted to bedformat, as a data frame

Arguments

should 0 based coordinates be checked

check.chr

should chr prefix be checked

check.valid
