If you are more comfortable with programming languages other than Matlab, these scripts will convert the tracking data structures into something more to your liking. | If you are more comfortable with programming languages other than Matlab or you are using FAST's stand-alone version, you will need to convert the tracking data structures into platform-specific structures. These scripts perform these conversions: |

* [[post:matlab_to_df.R]]: Converts [[usage:tracking#outputs|procTracks]] to an R dataframe. | * [[post:matlab_to_df.R]]: Converts [[usage:tracking#outputs|procTracks]] to an R dataframe. |

Many experiments consist of mixtures of distinct populations of cells; these scripts allow you to automatically separate out and label these populations. | Many datasets consist of mixtures of distinct populations of objects; these scripts allow you to automatically separate out and label these populations. |

* [[post:splitFluoPopulationsTracks.m]]: Splits tracks into populations based on fluorescence levels in two channels. | * [[post:splitFluoPopulationsTracks.m]]: Splits tracks into populations based on fluorescence levels in two channels. |

and assign them to FAST's internal representation. | |
| * [[post:labelThresholdEvents.m]]: Marks events when a specific track-associated variable drops above or below a specified threshold. |
| * [[post:labelUnusualEvents.m]]: Marks events when a specific track-associated variable moves far awy from its average, taking into account the typical fluctuations in its value. |

==== Data manipulation ==== | ==== Data manipulation ==== |

* [[post:meanIntInEllipse.m]]: Creates an elliptical mask based on the specified object's geometry and measures the intensity of an image within that mask. | * [[post:meanIntInEllipse.m]]: Creates an elliptical mask based on the specified object's geometry and measures the intensity of an image within that mask. |
| * [[post:filterTracks.m]]: Allows you to filter tracks with features (e.g. length, fluorescence intensity) that exceed or fall below a user-specified value. |
| * [[post:extractTimePoints.m]]: Allows you to switch from track to slice-based representation of a specified data field. |
| * [[post:coarsegrainTrackData.m]]: Converts motility data from track-based view to coarsegrained flowfield view. |
| ==== Lineage tree navigation and manipulation ==== |
| |
| The [[usage:division_detection|division detection]] module updates tracks to encode a lineage tree. These functions help manipulate and navigate this tree. |
| |
| * [[post: getLineageIndices]]: Allows you to get the indices and generation numbers of all descendants of a target cell. |
