RLum.Data-class function

Class "RLum.Data"

Generalized virtual data class for luminescence data. class

## S4 replacement method for signature 'RLum.Data'
add_metadata(object, info_element) <- value

## S4 replacement method for signature 'RLum.Data'
rename_metadata(object, info_element) <- value

## S4 replacement method for signature 'RLum.Data'
replace_metadata(object, info_element, subset = NULL, verbose = TRUE) <- value

## S4 method for signature 'RLum.Data'
view(object, ...)

Arguments

• object: (required ) an object of class RLum.Data

• info_element: character (required ) name of the metadata field to replace or remove

• value: (required ) The value assigned to the selected elements of the metadata field. If NULL the elements named in info_element

  will be removed.

• subset: expression (optional) logical expression to limit the substitution only to the selected subset of elements

• verbose: logical (with default) enable/disable output to the terminal.

• ...: other arguments that might be passed

Methods (by generic)

• add_metadata(RLum.Data) \<- value: Add metadata entries to RLum.Data objects
• rename_metadata(RLum.Data) \<- value: Rename a metadata entry of RLum.Data objects
• replace_metadata(RLum.Data) \<- value: Replaces or removes metadata of RLum.Data objects
• view(RLum.Data): View method for RLum.Data objects
