formantplot {praatpicture}

Plot formant object

Description

Function for plotting formant objects called by praatpicture. Instead of using this function directly, just use praatpicture('my_sound_file', frames='formant').

Usage

formantplot(
  fm,
  start,
  end,
  tfrom0 = TRUE,
  tgbool = FALSE,
  lines = NULL,
  focusTierColor = "black",
  focusTierLineType = "dotted",
  dynamicRange = 30,
  freqRange = c(0, 5500),
  plotType = "speckle",
  color = "black",
  dottedLines = TRUE,
  ind = NULL,
  min_max_only = FALSE,
  axisLabel = "Frequency (Hz)"
)

Arguments

fm

Formant object loaded using rPraat::formant.read

start

Start time (in seconds) of desired plotted area.

end

End time (in seconds) of desired plotted area.

tfrom0

Logical; should time on the x-axis run from 0 or from the original time? Default is TRUE.

tgbool

Logical; should dotted lines be plotted corresponding to locations in a TextGrid? Default is FALSE.

lines

Numeric vector giving locations in seconds of locations from a TextGrid to be plotted with dotted lines. Default is NULL.

focusTierColor

String or vector of strings giving the color(s) to use for plotting focus tier lines. If multiple tiers are focused, a vector of the same length can be passed, and the nth tier will be plotted in the nth color. Default is 'black'.

focusTierLineType

String or vector of strings giving the line type(s) for plotting focus tier lines. If multiple tiers are focused, a vector of the same length can be passed, and the nth tier will be plotted in the nth line type. Default is 'dotted'.

dynamicRange

Dynamic range in dB for producing formant plots. When a formant plot of plotType='speckle' is drawn, no formants are shown in frames with intensity level dynamicRange below the maximum intensity. Default is 30. If set to 0, all formants are shown.

freqRange

Vector of two integers giving the frequency range to be used for producing formant plots. Default is c(0,5500).

plotType

String giving the type of formant plot to produce; default is speckle (a point plot), the only other option is draw (a line plot).

color

String or vector of strings giving the name(s) of colors to be used for plotting formants. If one color is provided, all formants will be plotted in this color. If multiple colors are provided, different formants will be shown in different colors. Default is 'black'.

dottedLines

Logical; should dotted lines indicate the locations of frequency multiples of 1000 as in Praat? Default is TRUE.

ind

Integer indexing waveform relative to other plot components. Default is NULL.

min_max_only

Logical; should only minimum and maximum values be given on the y-axis? Default is FALSE. Can also be a logical vector if some but not all plot components should have minimum and maximum values on the y-axis. Ignored for TextGrid component.

axisLabel

String giving the name of the label to print along the y-axis when plotting formants. Default is Frequency (Hz).

Value

No return values, called internally by praatpicture and sibling functions.

Examples

# Don't use directly
datapath <- system.file('extdata', package='praatpicture')
soundFile <- paste0(datapath, '/1.wav')
praatpicture(soundFile, frames='formant')
