setWhenMeasured: Set the "when.measured" attribute

In photobiology: Photobiological Calculations

Set the "when.measured" attribute

Description

Function to set by reference the "when" attribute of an existing generic_spct or an object of a class derived from generic_spct.

Usage

setWhenMeasured(x, when.measured, ...)

when_measured(x) <- value

## Default S3 method:
setWhenMeasured(x, when.measured, ...)

## S3 method for class 'generic_spct'
setWhenMeasured(x, when.measured = lubridate::now(tzone = "UTC"), ...)

## S3 method for class 'summary_generic_spct'
setWhenMeasured(x, when.measured = lubridate::now(tzone = "UTC"), ...)

## S3 method for class 'generic_mspct'
setWhenMeasured(x, when.measured = lubridate::now(tzone = "UTC"), ...)

Arguments

x	a generic_spct object
when.measured, value	POSIXct to add as attribute, or a list of POSIXct.
...	Allows use of additional arguments in methods for other classes.

Value

x

Methods (by class)

• setWhenMeasured(default): default

• setWhenMeasured(generic_spct): generic_spct

• setWhenMeasured(summary_generic_spct): summary_generic_spct

• setWhenMeasured(generic_mspct): generic_mspct

Note

This method alters x itself by reference and in addition returns x invisibly. If x is not a generic_spct or an object of a class derived from generic_spct, x is not modified. If when is not a POSIXct object or NULL an error is triggered. A POSIXct describes an instant in time (date plus time-of-day plus time zone).
