Oyster_growth_run function

Runs the entire growth model

Function that runs all functions contained in Step 2-4 of the growth model. de Winter, N. J. (2017) doi:10.5194/gmd-2017-137

Oyster_growth_run(LOG=T, raw_data, image_length, season_length=250,
  Xstep=0.1, Tstep=1, Oyster_height, Oyster_length,
  name_file="Oyster_growth_model")

Arguments

• LOG: Boolean parameter specifying if a LOG should be printed detailing the parameters entered into this function
• raw_data: Numeric data frame containing the X- and Y-coordinates digitized in Adobe Illustrator or another image processing software
• image_length: Measured maximum length of the area of the cross section that is represented in "raw_data"
• season_length: Length (in days) of the growth season of the studied bivalve
• Xstep: The step size (dx) in X-direction used to interpolate coordinates of shell increments
• Tstep: The step size (dt) in time (days) used to interpolate the existing shell increments
• Oyster_height: Measured maximum height of the shell
• Oyster_length: Measured maximum length of the shell in anterio-posterior direction
• name_file: string indicating the name that should be added to all exported model results

Details

Runs Oyser_run_sec2, Oyser_run_sec3, Oyser_run_sec4 and Oyster_Export

Returns

Matrix containing all parameters of the shell calculated per sub-increment and CSV file containing this matrix - subincr_matrix: Revised version of the "incr_matrix" data frame that contains characteristics calculated for every sub-increment
