Character representation of ProTrackR objects
Description
Create a character representation of PTCell,
PTTrack or PTPattern objects.
Usage
## S4 method for signature 'PTCell'
as.character(x)
## S4 method for signature 'PTTrack'
as.character(x)
## S4 method for signature 'PTPattern'
as.character(x)
Arguments
x |
An object of any of the following classes: |
Details
A PTCell is an element of a PTTrack which
in turn is an element of a PTPattern. A PTPattern
tells a tracker which sample to play at which frequency on which of the
four audio channels and with which effects. A PTCell in essence
holds all this information as described at the documentation of
the PTCell.
Data in these objects are stored in these objects in a raw form,
to save working memory and to comply to the ProTracker file specifications.
As the raw data is not easy to interpret, this method is provided to
make your life (and the interpretation of the objects) easier.
This method generates a character representation of each of the three objects.
These character representations can be coerced back to their original classes
with the following methods: PTCell-method,
PTTrack-method and PTPattern-method.
Value
Returns a single character string when x is of class
PTCell.
Returns a vector of length 64 of the type character when x is of class
PTTrack.
Returns a 64 by 4 matrix of the type character when x is of class
PTPattern.
