New features
The latest version of OpenCyto contains some changes to the way templates are written for cytokine or tailgate gates. We have moved the preprocessing for tailgate to be explicit. The collapseDataForGating should be set to FALSE and the preprocessing_method should be set to standardize_flowset, in order to get the same behavior as previously by default when collapseDataForGating was set to TRUE.
Getting Started
A good place to start is the package vignette.
