initialize {hyperSpec}

Creating a hyperSpec Object

Description

Like other S4 objects, a hyperSpec object can be created by new. The hyperSpec object is then initialized using the given parameters.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'hyperSpec'
initialize(.Object, spc = NULL, data = NULL, wavelength = NULL, labels = NULL)

Arguments

.Object

the new hyperSpec object.

spc

the spectra matrix.

spc does not need to be a matrix, it is converted explicitly by I (as.matrix (spc)).

data

data.frame, possibly with the spectra in data$spc, and further variates in more columns. A matrix can be entered as one column of a data frame by: data.frame (spc = I (as.matrix (spc))).

However, it will usually be more convenient if the spectra are given in spc

wavelength

The wavelengths corresponding to the columns of data. If no wavelengths are given, an appropriate vector is derived from the column names of data$spc. If this is not possible, 1 : ncol (data$spc) is used instead.

labels

A list containing the labels for the columns of the data slot of the hyperSpec object and for the wavelength (in label$.wavelength). The labels should be given in a form ready for the text-drawing functions (see plotmath).

If label is not given, a list containing NULL for each of the columns ofdata and wavelength is used.

Details

If option gc is TRUE, the initialization will have frequent calls to gc () which can help to avoid swapping or running out of memory.

Examples

new ("hyperSpec")

spc <- matrix (rnorm (12), ncol = 4)
new ("hyperSpec", spc = spc)
new ("hyperSpec", data = data.frame (x = letters[1:3]),
     spc = spc)

colnames (spc) <- 600:603
new ("hyperSpec", spc = spc)  # wavelength taken from colnames (spc)

# given wavelengths precede over colnames of spc
new ("hyperSpec", spc = spc, wavelength = 700:703)

# specifying labels
h <- new ("hyperSpec", spc = spc, data = data.frame (pos = 1 : 3),
          label = list (spc = "I / a.u.",
                        .wavelength = expression (tilde (nu) / cm^-1),
                        pos = expression ("/" (x, mu*m)))
)

plot (h)
plotc (h, spc ~ pos)
