tile_ranges: Slide or tile over a Ranges object

Description

Slide or tile over a Ranges object

Usage

tile_ranges(x, width)
slide_ranges(x, width, step)

Arguments

x

a Ranges object

width

the maximum width of each window/tile (integer vector of length 1)

step

the distance between start position of each sliding window (integer vector of length 1)

Value

a Ranges object

Details

The tile_ranges() function paritions a Ranges object x by the given the width over all ranges in x, truncated by the sequence end. The slide_ranges() function makes sliding windows within each range of x of size width and sliding by step. Both slide_ranges() and tile_ranges() return a new Ranges object with a metadata column called "partition" which contains the index of the input range x that a parition belongs to.

# partition ranges into subranges of width 2, odd width ranges
# will have one subrange of width 1              
tile_ranges(gr, width = 2)

# make sliding windows of width 3, moving window with step size of 2
slide_ranges(gr, width = 3, step = 2)
