Define the physical arrangement order of feed and water bins as they are positioned in the facility. This is used for neighbor analysis and spatial synchronicity studies where the physical proximity of bins matters.
Arguments
- new_layout
A character string specifying the physical layout of bins. Should include feed bins (from
bins_feed2()) and water bins (frombins_wat2()) in their actual physical arrangement. Important: Use the updated bin IDs (e.g., water bins should be 101, 102, etc., not 1, 2) to avoid conflicts between feed and water bin numbering systems.
Details
The layout should be specified as a string where:
Bins within the same row are separated by "-"
Different rows are separated by
\n(newline)Only bins in the same row are considered spatial neighbors (left/right)
Bins in different rows are never neighbors, even if they're vertically aligned
Examples
# Single row layout
set_bin_layout2("1-2-101-3-4-102-5-6")
#> Note: Bin offset is set to 100. During data processing, water bins 1-5 will be transformed to 101-105.
#> Note: The following bins from your feed/water bin lists are not included in the layout. Please ignore this message if this is intended. Otherwise you need to update your bin layout: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 103, 104, 105
# Multiple row layout (3 rows)
set_bin_layout2("1-2-3-4-5\n6-7-8-9-10-11\n12-13-14")
#> Note: Bin offset is set to 100. During data processing, water bins 1-5 will be transformed to 101-105.
#> Note: The following bins from your feed/water bin lists are not included in the layout. Please ignore this message if this is intended. Otherwise you need to update your bin layout: 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105
# Check if bin_layout is set up correctly
bin_layout2()
#> [1] "1-2-3-4-5\n6-7-8-9-10-11\n12-13-14"
