templateComment: Query or Set Template Cutoffs

In jonkatz2/monitoR: Acoustic Template Detection in R

Query or Set Template Cutoffs

Description

Use this function to add or check comments to templates within template lists (corTemplateList or binTemplateList objects), scores (templateScores objects), or detection list (detectionList objects).

Usage

templateComment(object)
templateComment(object) <- value

Arguments

object	A binary or correlation template list (class binTemplateList or corTemplateList).
value	A character vector with the new comment.

Details

templateComment is an accessor function and templateComment <- is a replacement function.
For replacement, the value object should be as long as the number of templates in object (or the number selecting via indexing) unless it is a named vector (see Examples).

Value

For extraction, a numeric vector of the same length as object with comments. For replacement, the updated object.

# Load data

# Write Wave objects to file (temporary directory used here)
btnw.fp <- file.path(tempdir(), "btnw.wav")
oven.fp <- file.path(tempdir(), "oven.wav")

# Create four correlation templates

oct2 <- makeCorTemplate(oven.fp, t.lim = c(1, 4), frq.lim = c(1, 11), dens = 0.1, name = "o2")

# Combine all of them
ctemps <- combineCorTemplates(wct1, wct2, oct1, oct2)

# Add a comment for two templates
templateComment(ctemps) <- c(w1 = "This is the best template so far.", 
                           o1 = "Should we drop the lowest syllable?")

# Add a default comment also
templateComment(ctemps) <- c(w1 = "This is the best template so far.", 
                           o1 = "Should we drop the lowest syllable?", 
                           default = "These templates have not been tested.")
# View comments
templateComment(ctemps)

# Clean up (only because these files were created in these examples)
file.remove(btnw.fp)
file.remove(oven.fp)
