Generic functions for use with respeciate object classes.
as.respeciate(x, ...)
# S3 method for default
as.respeciate(x, ...)
# S3 method for respeciate
print(x, n = 6, ...)
# S3 method for rsp_pls
print(x, n = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for respeciate
plot(x, ...)
# S3 method for rsp_pls
plot(x, ...)
# S3 method for respeciate
summary(object, ...)
# S3 method for respeciate
merge(x, y, ...)the respeciate
object to be printed, plotted, etc.
any extra arguments, mostly ignored except by
plot which passes them to rsp_plot_profile
and merge with passes them to merge.
when plotting or printing a multi-profile object, the maximum number of profiles to report.
like x but for summary.
a second data set, typically a data.frame or a
respeciate object, to be merged with x
These generic functions/methods generate typical outputs for
respeciate data sets and models:
When supplied a data.frame or similar,
as.respeciate attempts to coerce it into a
respeciate object.
When supplied a respeciate object, print manages its
appearance.
When supplied a respeciate object, plot provides a
basic plot output. This is currently wrapper for the respeciate
function rsp_plot_profile.
When supplied a respeciate object, summary generates
a summary table of profile information.
When supplied a respeciate object and a second respeciate-like
object, e.g. data.frame, respeciate object, etc,
merge attempts to merge them using common data columns. You
can refine the merge operation using additional arguments.
respeciate objects revert to
data.frames when not doing anything
package-specific, so you can still use them like data.frames
with other packages. This is useful if you have other ideas how to
plot more complex (multiple-profile, multiple-species)
data sets, and want to use graphics packages like lattice or
ggplot2.
