ch7tps: TPS Data for the Vectorized Root System of a Young Oak Tree
Description
This dataset obtained with Data Analysis of Root Tracings gives the correspondence between the observation numbers, dates and colour codes used to perform a root system architecture analysis of a young oak tree (Quercus robur L.) growing in a vertical rhizobox using DART.
Usage
ch7tps
Arguments
Format
A data frame containing the following columns:
Num: the identification number of each observation date.
Date: the root system age at each observation date (the unit of time is defined by the experimenter). In ch7tps, data are expressed in days.
CoulR: the red component of the colour chosen for the vectorization of the root system at each observation date.
CoulG: the green component of the colour chosen for the vectorization of the root system at each observation date.
CoulB: the blue component of the colour chosen for the vectorization of the root system at each observation date.
