Define clones within each group

[Ngort]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I have data from multiple replicates pooled together, each with an identity assigned by a metadata column. I want the defined clones to be within each group, and the edges across groups to be of zero weight.

Right now the DefineClones.py code run is defined as:

    cmd = [
        "DefineClones.py",
        "-d",
        h_file1,
        "-o",
        h_file2,
        "--act",
        action,
        "--model",
        model,
        "--norm",
        norm,
        "--dist",
        str(dist_),
        "--nproc",
        str(nproc),
        "--vf",
        v_field,
    ]

Could we add something that serves as argument for --gf aka --group_fields?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Slicing the data and running the algorithm.

Hi @Ngort, thanks - yes i can certainly add this.

I'm currently thinking if i add a free form list [] that you can specify that option, and any other options so it would be like:

cmd_final = cmd + user_additional_cmd

can you try install the version at #280

pip install git+https://www.github.com/zktuong/dandelion@update-cmd-for-external

and let me know if this works?

ddl.tl.define_clones(..., additional_args = ['--gf', GROUP_FIELD, ]) # if separate each entry in GROUP_FIELD into its own string if there's multiple

This is perfect! It works like a charm.
