\title{Load a 10x Genomics Visium Spatial Experiment into a \code{Seurat} object}
\usage{
Load10X_Spatial(
  data.dir,
  filename = "filtered_feature_bc_matrix.h5",
  assay = "Spatial",
  slice = "slice1",
  filter.matrix = TRUE,
  to.upper = FALSE,
  image = NULL,
  ...
)
}
\arguments{
\item{data.dir}{Directory containing the H5 file specified by \code{filename}
and the image data in a subdirectory called \code{spatial}}

\item{filename}{Name of H5 file containing the feature barcode matrix}

\item{assay}{Name of the initial assay}

\item{slice}{Name for the stored image of the tissue slice}

\item{filter.matrix}{Only keep spots that have been determined to be over
tissue}

\item{to.upper}{Converts all feature names to upper case. This can provide an
approximate conversion of mouse to human gene names which can be useful in an
explorative analysis. For cross-species comparisons, orthologous genes should
be identified across species and used instead.}

\item{image}{An object of class VisiumV1. Typically, an output from \code{\link{Read10X_Image}}}

\item{...}{Arguments passed to \code{\link{Read10X_h5}}}
}
\value{
A \code{Seurat} object
