ctdUpdateHeader: Update a CTD Header

Description

Update the header of a ctd object, e.g. adjusting nvalues and the span of each column. This is done automatically by ctdTrim, for example.

Usage

ctdUpdateHeader(x, debug = FALSE)

Arguments

x

A ctd object, i.e. one inheriting from ctd-class.

debug

An integer specifying whether debugging information is to be printed during the processing. This is a general parameter that is used by many oce functions. Generally, setting debug=0 turns off the printing, while higher values suggest that more information be printed.

Value

A new ctd-class object.
