calculateDirectionalVariograms {AFM}

Calculate experimental directional semi-variograms

Description

calculate four experimental directional variograms of an AFMImage with the variogram function of the gstat package. The directional semi-variogram can be used to check the isotropy of the sample. Note: The sample will be isotropic if the slopes of the four variograms are similar.

Usage

calculateDirectionalVariograms(AFMImageVariogramAnalysis, AFMImage)

Arguments

AFMImageVariogramAnalysis

an AFMImageVariogramAnalysis to manage and store the result of variogram analysis

AFMImage

an AFMImage from Atomic Force Microscopy

Details

calculateDirectionalVariograms returns the directional variograms

Value

Four directional variograms
