In Vin985/gblincoln: Lincoln estimates for the GameBirds database

Add database specific filters

Description

This functions looks into a filter list to add database specific filters (e.g. filters only applied to a banding dataset). The database specific fitlers should be defined in their own list. This function allows to define some filters applied only to a single database without having to define multiple objects.

Usage

add_db_filters(filters, db_type, filters_first = FALSE)

Arguments

filters	The filters list
db_type	A database type. Must be a valid entry for get_db_type
filters_first	Should the database filters be placed at the beginning of the list?, Default: FALSE

Details

The function looks in the filters list for entries following the "DBTYPE_filters" pattern where DBTYPE is a long identifier returned by get_db_type. For example, for filters only applied to the banding database, the filters should be named "banding_filters". If a relevant filter is found, it is added to the filters list.

Value

A filters list with the database specific filters added. All other database specific filters are removed if present.
