Description Usage Arguments Details Functions

Manage the translation of plate type codes during building a screen object.

plate.type.converter(x)

show_conversion_key()

edit_conversion_key(key)

recover_conversion_key()

`x`	a screen object
`key`	a data frame with all character columns

During building a screen object build_screen calls the internal function plate.type.converter to read the plate type encoded in field 4 of the plate name and create the columns plate_type and replica accordingly. This is done according to a dictionary file stored in the package directory.

plate.type.converter: Takes a screen object and returns one in which columns "plate_type" and "replica" are altered.
show_conversion_key: Reads and prints the conversion key as a data frame with all character columns
edit_conversion_key: The new key will replace the file in the package directory. When this function is run, it creates a backup copy of the original key. The key can be recovered with recover_conversion_key.
recover_conversion_key: When the file that contains the key for plate type conversion is modified by edit_conversion_key, a backup copy is created in the package directory. This function will remove the current key file and restore the original.
