In pgomba/thermgRad: Tools to Visualize and Analyze Germination in Temperature Gradient Plates

Generate grid with results

Description

Taking into account thermal gradient plate corner temperatures this function return a data frame with day and night temperatures for each petri dish, their average temperature, the temperature fluctuation or the final germination %. Using the "precise" method returns a more accurate estimate of temperatures across the thermal plate, while with the adjust parameter is possible to estimate the temperature at the center of each Petri dish

Usage

grid_results(
  x = "Template with cumulative germination data",
  dayBL = "Diurnal bottom left temperature",
  dayBR = "Diurnal bottom right temperature",
  dayTL = "Diurnal top left temperature",
  dayTR = "Diurnal top right temperature",
  nightBL = "Nocturnal bottom left temperature",
  nightBR = "Nocturnal bottom right temperature",
  nightTL = "Nocturnal top left temperature",
  nightTR = "Nocturnal top right temperature",
  petri = "Number of petri in a column or row",
  method = "average corners temperature or use these independently",
  adjust = "adjust temperature to center of Petri dish"
)

Arguments

x	germination data template
dayBL	Average diurnal temperature at the bottom left side of the thermal gradient plate
dayBR	Average diurnal temperature at the bottom left side of the thermal gradient plate
dayTL	Average diurnal temperature at the bottom left side of the thermal gradient plate
dayTR	Average diurnal temperature at the bottom left side of the thermal gradient plate
nightBL	Average diurnal temperature at the bottom left side of the thermal gradient plate
nightBR	Average diurnal temperature at the bottom left side of the thermal gradient plate
nightTL	Average diurnal temperature at the bottom left side of the thermal gradient plate
nightTR	Average diurnal temperature at the bottom left side of the thermal gradient plate
petri	Number of Petri dishes in a column or a row.
method	Leave blank to use average corner temperature values or use "precise" to create a temperature gradient based in individual corner temperatures
adjust	use "adjust=TRUE" to adjust temperature to Petri dish center.

Value

A data frame with day and night temperatures, average temperature and temperature fluctuation for each Petri dish
