abs.generic_spct

sqrt.generic_spct

<code>abs(x)</code> computes the absolute value of <code>x</code>, <code>sqrt(x)</code>
computes the (principal) square root of <code>x</code>. The functions are applied
to the spectral data, not the wavelengths. The quantity in the spectrum to
which the function is appled depends on the class of <code>x</code> and the current
value of output options.
