faux_cell dataset as parametrized function that generates data

[GegznaV]

The size of faux_cell dataset is the same as of chondro:

format(object.size(faux_cell), units = "MB")
#> [1] "2.1 Mb"

format(object.size(chondro), units = "MB")
#> [1] "2.1 Mb"

We can't load it as data(faux_cell). And as fauxCell dataset is artificial, why don't we use it as a function, that generates data, e.g.:

faux_cell  <- hyperSpec::generate_faux_cell_data()
faux_cell

Object size in memory is the same since it has the same dimensions as chondro.

It is already generated from function .fauxCell() via delayedAssign(), i.e. it is built (and starts to take memory) only when it is called for the fist time.

fauxCell returns a default dataset. We could make an addition function, e.g. makeFauxCell that accepts a set of arguments to parametrize the resulting dataset. If the arguments are not provided, then the resulting dataset is equal to the fauxCell.
