midpoint: Midpoint

In photobiology: Photobiological Calculations

Midpoint

Description

A method that returns the wavelength [nm] (or value) at the center of the wavelength range of objects of classes waveband or of class generic_spct or derived (or the midpoint from a numeric vector).

Usage

wl_midpoint(x, ...)

midpoint(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
midpoint(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'numeric'
midpoint(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'waveband'
midpoint(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'generic_spct'
midpoint(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'generic_mspct'
midpoint(x, ..., idx = "spct.idx")

Arguments

x	an R object
...	not used in current version
idx	character Name of the column with the names of the members of the collection of spectra.

Value

A numeric value equal to max(x) - min(x)) / 2. In the case of spectral objects a wavelength [nm]. For any other R object, according to available definitions of min and max.

Methods (by class)

• midpoint(default): Default method for generic function

• midpoint(numeric): Default method for generic function

• midpoint(waveband): Wavelength at center of a "waveband".

• midpoint(generic_spct): Method for "generic_spct".

• midpoint(generic_mspct): Method for "generic_mspct" objects.
