ReadInSpiral: ReadIn of Spiral Measurements

In weder90/WoLF_R: Working on larger foraminifera - a biometric package

Description

Reads in the spiral measurements from an excel template with multiple sheets necessary for the calculation of the growth-invariant and growth-independent meristic characters used for analysis of morphology in nummulitid foraminifera.

Usage

ReadInSpiral(Inputpath, Inputsheets, sheetlength, rad_degree)

Arguments

Inputpath	source path for the excel sheet
Inputsheets	vector containing names of existing sheets in the template; sheet names may be changed, but the order of the sheets must remain the same Summary -> marginal radius -> chamber base length -> backbend angle -> septal angle -> chamber area -> chamber perimeter
sheetlength	max. number of rows to read from excel
rad_degree	TRUE or FALSE statement if radians and degree columns are present in the marginal radius sheet

Value

the function returns the dataframes Sum (Summary table), MR (marginal radius), CBL (Chamber base length), BBA (Backbend angle), SA (Septal angle), CA (chamber area), CP (chamber perimeter), CL (chamber length) and PR (Perimeter ratio)

Examples

system.file("extdata","input_data.xlsx", package = "WoLF")
sheets<-c("summary","marginal radius","chamber base length","backbend angle","septal angle", "chamber area", "chamber perimeter")
ReadInSpiral(Inputpath = "C:/Users/user/Desktop/Input_data.xlsx",Inputsheets = sheets,sheetlength = 50,rad_degree=TRUE)
