wls_at_target: Find wavelengths values corresponding to a target spectral value

Description

Find wavelength values corresponding to a target spectral value in a spectrum. The name of the column of the spectral data to be used is inferred from the class of x and the argument passed to unit.out or filter.qty or their defaults that depend on R options set.

Usage

wls_at_target(x, target = NULL, interpolate = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE,
  ...)
# S3 method for default
wls_at_target(x, target = NULL, interpolate = FALSE,
  na.rm = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for generic_spct
wls_at_target(x, target = "half.maximum",
  interpolate = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE, col.name = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for source_spct
wls_at_target(x, target = "half.maximum",
  interpolate = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE,
  unit.out = getOption("photobiology.radiation.unit", default =
  "energy"), ...)
# S3 method for response_spct
wls_at_target(x, target = "half.maximum",
  interpolate = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE,
  unit.out = getOption("photobiology.radiation.unit", default =
  "energy"), ...)
# S3 method for filter_spct
wls_at_target(x, target = "half.maximum",
  interpolate = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE,
  filter.qty = getOption("photobiology.filter.qty", default =
  "transmittance"), ...)
# S3 method for reflector_spct
wls_at_target(x, target = "half.maximum",
  interpolate = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for cps_spct
wls_at_target(x, target = "half.maximum",
  interpolate = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for generic_mspct
wls_at_target(x, target = "half.maximum",
  interpolate = FALSE, na.rm = FALSE, ..., .parallel = FALSE,
  .paropts = NULL)

Arguments

data.frame or spectrum object.

target

numeric value indicating the spectral quantity value for which wavelengths are to be searched and interpolated if need. The character string "half.maximum" is also accepted as argument.

interpolate

logical Indicating whether the nearest wavelength value in x should be returned or a value calculated by linear interpolation between wavelength values stradling the target.

na.rm

logical indicating whether NA values should be stripped before searching for the target.

...

currently ignored.

col.name

character The name of the column in which to search for the target value.

unit.out

character One of "energy" or "photon"

filter.qty

character One of "transmittance" or "absorbance"

.parallel

if TRUE, apply function in parallel, using parallel backend provided by foreach

.paropts

a list of additional options passed into the foreach function when parallel computation is enabled. This is important if (for example) your code relies on external data or packages: use the .export and .packages arguments to supply them so that all cluster nodes have the correct environment set up for computing.

Value

A spectrum object of the same class as x with fewer rows, possibly even no rows. If FALSE is passed to interpolate a subset of x is returned, otherwise a new object of the same class containing interpolated wavelenths for the target value is returned.

Methods (by class)

default: Default returning always an empty object of the same class as x.
generic_spct: Method for "generic_spct" objects.
source_spct: Method for "source_spct" objects.
response_spct: Method for "response_spct" objects.
filter_spct: Method for "filter_spct" objects.
reflector_spct: Method for "reflector_spct" objects.
cps_spct: Method for "cps_spct" objects.
generic_mspct: Method for "generic_mspct" objects.
