emuR (version 0.1.7)

create_emuRtrackdata: create emuRtrackdata object

Description

Joins emuRsegs and trackdata objects to create an emuRtrackdata object that is a sub-class of a data.table (and data.frame) object. This object can be viewed as a flat version of a trackdata object that also contains all the information of a emuRsegs object. It is meant to ease integration with other packages as it is based on the well known data.table and data.frame objects.

Usage

create_emuRtrackdata(sl, td)

Arguments

sl

seglist of class emuRsegs

td

trackdata object generated from sl

Value

• emuRtrackdata object
