[hyperSpec-help] Hyperspec, plot, and xlim, ylim - 2 questions

Dear Holger,

plot (i.e. plotspc) support xlim and ylim.
However, you need to give them in a list as parameter plot.args:

plot (chondro, plot.args = list (xlim = c (400, 3200)))

There are other parameters that take similar argument lists:
*.args which take parameters directed to the respective function. I
cannot just use ... as the additional arguments need to be directed to
these different functions.

I'm open for suggestions for a better and more intuitive interface here.

But not a second spectrum (or something that could be treated as a
spectrum, see e.g. decomposition) and then plotted by plot (second *
scaling, add = TRUE)?

Can you be a bit more specific and give us an example, particularly of
the second graph that should go into the spectra plot?

All spectra of the hyperSpec object have the same wavelength axis: use
wl (object)
to get them.

The plotting coordinates may be different, though:
- the x axis if xoffsets are used
- for the y axis, the most common form to give offsets is stacked = TRUE.

In any case, the exact plotting coordinates are invisibly returned by
plotspc:
coord <- plot (flu)
str (coord)


Does that help?

Best,

Claudia
