This package contains a collection of flow cytometry data files. They are
in the LMD format, as generated by a Beckman-Coulter Gallios flow
cytometer.

The samples are plant leaf tissues from a variety of species. Each sample
is co-chopped with a standard (e.g., soybean or tomato) with known GC
values. Consequently, in successful assays you'll see the G1 peak for the
sample and another G1 peak for the standard. Depending on the samples, you
may also see a G2 peak for one or both of these as well, at approximately
twice the intensity.

The files include a mix of low- and high-quality data, to provide useful
examples for how the flowPloidy package deals with good and bad situations.

This package provides a three functions variable, useful as a convenience
for accessing the files from an R session: `flowPloidyFiles()`. This is a
list of all the data files, which you can pass to functions such as
`flowPloidy::batchFlowHist(flowPloidyFiles(), ...)` (which will read in all
the files in the vector), or `flowCore::read.FCS(flowPloidyFiles()[1],
...)` (to read in the first file in the vector).

For further information, see the `flowPloidy` package.
