R Documentation

Coerce to a collection-of-spectra

Description

Return a copy of an R object with its class set to a given type of spectrum.

Usage

as.calibration_mspct(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
as.calibration_mspct(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
as.calibration_mspct(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'calibration_spct'
as.calibration_mspct(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'list'
as.calibration_mspct(x, ..., ncol = 1, byrow = FALSE)

## S3 method for class 'matrix'
as.calibration_mspct(
  x,
  w.length,
  spct.data.var = "irrad.mult",
  multiplier = 1,
  byrow = NULL,
  spct.names = "spct_",
  ...
)

Arguments

`x`	a list of spectral objects or a list of objects such as data frames that can be converted into spectral objects.
`...`	passed to individual spectrum object constructor
`ncol`	integer Number of 'virtual' columns in data
`byrow`	logical If `ncol > 1` how to read in the data
`w.length`	numeric A vector of wavelengthvalues sorted in strictly ascending order (nm).
`spct.data.var`	character The name of the variable that will contain the spectral data. This indicates what physical quantity is stored in the matrix and the units of expression used.
`multiplier`	numeric A multiplier to be applied to the values in `x` to do unit or scale conversion.
`spct.names`	character Vector of names to be assigned to collection members, either of length 1, or with length equal to the number of spectra.

Value

A copy of x converted into a calibration_mspctt object.

Methods (by class)

as.calibration_mspct(default):
as.calibration_mspct(data.frame):
as.calibration_mspct(calibration_spct):
as.calibration_mspct(list):
as.calibration_mspct(matrix):

Note

When x is a square matrix an explicit argument is needed for byrow to indicate how data in x should be read. In every case the length of the w.length vector must match one of the dimensions of x.
