scale_x_wavenumber_continuous: Wavenumber x-scale

In ggspectra: Extensions to 'ggplot2' for Radiation Spectra

Wavenumber x-scale

Description

Scale x continuous with defaults suitable for wavelengths expressed as wavenumbers [m^{-2}].

Usage

scale_x_wavenumber_continuous(
  unit.exponent = -6,
  name = w_number_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()[["w.number"]],
  ...
)

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 wavenumbers. 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

Examples

ggplot(sun.spct, aes(x = wl2wavenumber(w.length), y = s.e.irrad)) +
  geom_line() +
  scale_x_wavenumber_continuous()

ggplot(sun.spct, aes(x = wl2wavenumber(w.length), y = s.e.irrad)) +
  geom_line() +
  scale_x_wavenumber_continuous(unit.exponent = -5)
