length_RLum: Length retrieval function for RLum-class objects

In Luminescence: Comprehensive Luminescence Dating Data Analysis

Length retrieval function for RLum-class objects

Description

The function provides a generalised access point for specific RLum objects. Depending on the input object, the corresponding function will be selected.

Usage

length_RLum(object)

## S4 method for signature 'RLum.Analysis'
length_RLum(object)

## S4 method for signature 'RLum.Data.Curve'
length_RLum(object)

## S4 method for signature 'RLum.Results'
length_RLum(object)

Arguments

object

RLum (required): S4 object of class RLum

Value

An integer indicating the length of the object.

Methods (by class)

• length_RLum(RLum.Analysis): Returns the number of records stored in the object.

• length_RLum(RLum.Data.Curve): Returns the length of the curve object, which is the maximum of the value time/temperature of the curve (corresponding to the stimulation length).

• length_RLum(RLum.Results): Returns the number of stored data elements.
