wl-methods: Retrieves or sets the wavelengths of a 'Spectra*' object.

In inspectr: Storing, manipulating and analysis spectroscopy and associated data in R.

Description

Either retrieves the wavelengths from a Spectra* object, or creates a Spectra* object from a "data.frame" object by setting some of its columns as the wavelengths.

Usage

wl(object, ...)
wl(object) <- value

Arguments

object	a "data.frame" or an object inheriting from class Spectra
value	the wavelengths of the Spectra* object to create
...	Ignored

Details

When applied to a Spectra* object, this functions simply returns the wavelengths of the spectra it is storing.

If applied on a "data.frame" object, it is an helper function to create a Spectra* object. It then needs to be indicated the wavelengths at which the spectra values are measured. The assumption is that each row of the "data.frame" is a spectra, and the column names of the "data.frame" contain the wavelengths values.

If all the columns are used to create the Spectra* object, a Spectra object is created. If some attributes are left, they will be used to generate a SpectraDataFrame object.

Value

If applied on a "data.frame", either a Spectra or a SpectraDataFrame object. If applied on a Spectra* object, a vector.

Examples

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

# Retrieving wavelengths from Spectra* object
wl(australia)

# Replacing wavelength values - USE WITH CAUTION!
wl(australia) <- 1:length(australia)
wl(australia)

# Use to initiate a Spectra* object from a data.frame
data(australia)
wl(australia) <- 350:2500
ids(australia) <- ~ sr_no
summary(australia)
