ReadInTF: ReadIn of test thickness measurements

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

Description

Reads in the test thickness measurements from an excel template necessary for the calculation of the growth-invariant and growth-independent meristic characters used for analysis of morphology of planispirally coiling foraminifera in axial sections. Follows the approach by Eder et al. (2018)

Usage

ReadInTF(Inputpath, Inputsheet, from, to, nolines, nopoints)

Arguments

Inputpath	source path for the excel sheet
Inputsheet	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
from	start column in excel
to	end column in excel
nolines	number of lines to read in
nopoints	number of measurements per specimen

Value

the function returns the list TFdf, containing a dataframes with the varaiables MR (marginal radius), Th (Thickness), Mlth (mediolateral thickness) per specimen, and a vector with all specimen codes.
