In rformassspectrometry/SpectriPy: Integrating Spectra with Python's matchms

Low level functions to convert between Spectra and matchms Spectrum

Description

The rspec_to_pyspec and pyspec_to_rspec functions allow to convert R Spectra() objects into matchms Python Spectrum objects. These functions are designed for advanced users or developers who want/need to integrate Python/matchms functionality into R using reticulate. All other users should use the dedicated R functions within this package that take care of running the Python code in the correct Python environment.

Parameter mapping allows to define which spectra variables (metadata) should be copied between the R and Python spectra. Only provided spectra variables will be copied to R respectively Python. mapping also defines the mapping between the Spectra's spectra variables and the Spectrum metadata. The names of the character vector mapping are the R spectra variables and the values the corresponding names in the Python's Spectrum metadata. See the output of the spectraVariableMapping() function for the default variables and the mapping of the names.

The spectraVariableMapping function provides a default mapping of some core Spectra variables based on this definition in matchms. The function returns a named vector that can be directly used as parameter mapping in the rspec_to_pyspec and pyspec_to_rspec functions.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'missing'
spectraVariableMapping(object, ...)

rspec_to_pyspec(
  x,
  mapping = spectraVariableMapping(),
  reference = import("matchms"),
  BPPARAM = SerialParam(),
  .check = TRUE
)

pyspec_to_rspec(
  x,
  mapping = spectraVariableMapping(),
  BPPARAM = SerialParam(),
  .check = TRUE
)

Arguments

object	ignored.
...	ignored.
x	For rspec_to_pyspec: Spectra object. For pyspec_to_rspec: an Python list of matchms Spectrum objects.
mapping	Named character providing the spectra variable names (metadata) to convert. Names are expected to be the spectr variable names and values the corresponding names of the Python Spectrum metadata fields. See description above for more details.
reference	Optional reference to Python environment matchms.
BPPARAM	Optional parallel processing setup.
.check	Optionally disable input parameter checking. Input parameter checking should only disabled for very good reasons.

Value

For rspec_to_pyspec: Python array of Spectrum objects, same length than x. Fpr pyspec_to_rspec: Spectra() with the converted spectra. For spectraVariableMapping: named character vector with names being Spectra variable names and values the corresponding names in matchms.
