General plot function for RLum S4 class objects

Description

The function calls object specific plot functions for RLum S4 class objects.

Usage

plot_RLum(object, ...)

Arguments

object	RLum (required): object of class RLum or a list of such objects. If a list is provided, the function tries to plot every object in the list according to its RLum class, after removing non-RLum objects.
...	further arguments and graphical parameters to pass to the specific plot functions. The only arguments that are supported directly are main (plot title) and mtext (subtitle). They may be lists, in which case each element is dispatched to the plots (with recycling )if object is also a list.

Details

The function provides a generalised access point for plotting various RLum objects. Depending on the input object, the corresponding plot function will be selected. Allowed arguments can be found in the documentations of each plot function.

object	corresponding plot function
RLum.Data.Curve	plot_RLum.Data.Curve
RLum.Data.Spectrum	plot_RLum.Data.Spectrum
RLum.Data.Image	plot_RLum.Data.Image
RLum.Analysis	plot_RLum.Analysis
RLum.Results	plot_RLum.Results

Value

Produces a plot depending on the input object.
