Convert a genlight object to a dartR object

Source: R/gl2dartR.R

This function converts a `genlight` object into a `dartR` object by changing its class attribute. It is used to convert legacy data sets to the new dartR format.

gl2dartR(x, filename = NULL, file.path = tempdir())

Arguments

x

An object of class `genlight` to be converted.

filename

A character string specifying the name of the file to save the converted object. [default is gl.rds]

file.path

A character string specifying the path to save the file.

Value

The input object with class changed to `"dartR"` and its package attribute set to `"dartR.base"`.

Examples

simgl <- glSim(10, 100, ploidy = 2, indnames=1:10, locnames=1:100)  # Simulating a genlight object
simgl <- gl2dartR(simgl)
pop(simgl)<- rep("A",10)
indNames(simgl) <- paste0("ind",1:10)
gl.smearplot(simgl, verbose=0)
