TreeMan equivalent to save() but able to handle
node matrices.
Details
It is not possible to use save() on TreeMan objects
with node matrices. Node matrices are bigmemory matrices and are therefore outside
the R environment, see bigmemory documentation for more information. Saving and loading
a bigmemory matrix may cause memory issues in R and cause R to crash.
This function can safely store a TreeMan object with and without
a node matrix. This function stores the tree using the serialization format and the node
matrix as a hidden .csv. Both parts of the tree can be reloaded to an R environment
with loadTreeMan(). The hidden node matrix filename is based on the file argument:
file + _ndmtrx
Reading and writing trees with saveTreeMan() and
loadTreeMan is faster than any of the other read and write functions.
Examples
tree <- randTree(100, wndmtrx = TRUE)
#> Note, trees with `ndmtrx` cannot be saved and loaded using `save()` or `savehistory()`. Loading from these files may cause unusual behaviour.
saveTreeMan(tree, file = "test.RData")
rm(tree)
tree <- loadTreeMan(file = "test.RData")
file.remove("test.RData", "testRData_ndmtrx")
#> [1] TRUE TRUE
