In pierreroudier/inspectr: Storing, Manipulating and Analysis Spectroscopy and Associated Data in R

Description

This function is very useful when wanting to plot spectra using the lattice or ggplot2 packages

Usage

melt_spectra(obj, attr=NULL, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SpectraDataFrame'
melt_spectra(obj, attr = NULL, ...)

Arguments

obj	an object of class "Spectra" or inheriting from this class
attr	vector of id variables against which the spectra will be melted (see melt)
...	further arguments passed to or from other methods

Methods

x=Spectra

melt_spectra(obj, ...)

	obj	A Spectra object
	...	Ignored

x=SpectraDataFrame

melt_spectra(obj, attr=NULL, ...)

	obj	A SpectraDataFrame object
	attr	Character, the name of an attribute in the object data to split the spectra against.
	...	Ignored

Examples

# Loading example data
data(australia)
spectra(australia) <- sr_no ~ ... ~ 350:2500

# Simple melt
r <- melt_spectra(australia)
head(r)

## Not run: 
# Melt against some factor (or continuous data), and plot
# using ggplot2

# Create some factor
australia$fact <- sample(LETTERS[1:3], size = nrow(australia), replace = TRUE)
r <- melt_spectra(australia, attr = 'fact')

# Create plot
library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(r) + geom_line(aes(x=wl, y=nir, group=id, colour=fact)) + theme_bw()
print(p)

## End(Not run)
