scale_x_energy_eV_continuous {ggspectra}R Documentation

Energy per photon x-scale

Description

Scale x continuous with defaults suitable for wavelengths expressed as energy per photon [eV] or [J].

Usage

scale_x_energy_eV_continuous(
  unit.exponent = 0,
  name = w_energy_eV_label(unit.exponent = unit.exponent, label.text = label.text),
  breaks = scales::pretty_breaks(n = 7),
  labels = SI_pl_format(exponent = unit.exponent),
  label.text = axis_labels()[["energy"]],
  ...
)

scale_x_energy_J_continuous(
  unit.exponent = -18,
  name = w_energy_J_label(unit.exponent = unit.exponent, label.text = label.text),
  breaks = scales::pretty_breaks(n = 7),
  labels = SI_pl_format(exponent = unit.exponent),
  label.text = axis_labels()[["energy"]],
  ...
)

Arguments

unit.exponent

integer

name

The name of the scale, used for the axis-label.

breaks

The positions of ticks or a function to generate them.

labels

The tick labels or a function to generate them from the tick positions.

label.text

character Textual portion of the labels.

...

other named arguments passed to scale_y_continuous

Details

This scale automates the generation of axis labels when the variable mapped to the x aesthetic contains numeric values for wavelengths expressed as energy per photon. This is not how spectral data are stored in all the packages of the R for Photobiology suite and can be used in plots built with ggplot2() with explicit mapping using a conversion function. If desired, a secondary axis can be added manually as described in sec_axis.

Note

This function only alters two default arguments, please, see documentation for scale_continuous
