spaSim

Spatial point data simulator for tissue images

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.14.0

A suite of functions for simulating spatial patterns of cells in tissue images. Output images are multitype point data in SingleCellExperiment format. Each point represents a cell, with its 2D locations and cell type. Potential cell patterns include background cells, tumour/immune cell clusters, immune rings, and blood/lymphatic vessels.
