\title{Standard microplate coordinate map}
\usage{
plate_layout(format = 96)

plate_layout_384()

plate_layout_1536()
}
\arguments{
\item{format}{Plate format (number of wells): one of \code{6}, \code{12}, \code{24}, \code{48},
\code{96}, \code{384} or \code{1536}. Default \code{96}.}
}
\value{
A data frame with one row per well and the columns \code{well} (for
example \code{"A1"}), \code{row} (row letter), \code{col} (column number) and \code{row_index}
(numeric row position, \code{A = 1}).
}
\description{
Builds the full row/column coordinate table for a standard microplate,
ordered by row then column. This is useful for joining plate readouts onto a
complete layout so that empty wells are represented explicitly.
}
\examples{
head(plate_layout(96))
nrow(plate_layout(384))
