Calculations in wave power generation

generate.duration(file)
powflux.wave(Hs, Tp)
wave.contour(X,label,sum, sumlabel)
duration.wave(datafile, file=TRUE)
energy.wave(Pflux, D)
energy.gen(Ew, L, nu)

`datafile`	either a data file name or a renpow dataset
`file`	a logical to decide between a data file or a dataset
`Hs`	height in HsTp matrix
`Tp`	duration in HsTp matrix
`X`	Object to plot as contour; can be Pflux, Ew, or Eg
`Pflux`	Power flux produced by powflux.wave function
`Ew`	Energy produced by energy.wave function
`label`	label for plot; the default is ""
`sum`	logical default TRUE
`sumlabel`	label for sum; the default is ""
`D`	duration produced by duration.wave function
`L`	length of structure or energy conversion device
`nu`	efficiency

Basic calculations for wave power

`Eg`	Energy produced by energy.gen function
