photor {colourvision}

Photoreceptor sensitivity spectra.

Description

Generates photoreceptor sensitivity spectra based on lambda-max values.

Usage

photor(lambda.max, lambda = seq(300, 700, 1), beta.band = FALSE)

Arguments

lambda.max

Vector with photoreceptor wavelength at maximum sensitivity values, in increasing order.

lambda

Range and interval to calculate the sensitivity curves.

beta.band

Logical. Whether or not to include a beta-band in the sensitivity curve.

Value

A data frame with first column corresponding to wavelength values and following columns with photoreceptor sensitivity values

## Generates photoreceptor sensitivity
## values with lambda max at 350nm, 450nm and 550nm:
C<-photor(lambda.max=c(350,450,550))
