MunsellNameFromHVC: Convert Munsell Numeric to Munsell String Notation

Description

Convert Munsell Numeric to Munsell String Notation

Usage

MunsellNameFromHVC( HVC, format='g', digits=2 )
HueStringFromNumber( Hue, format='g', digits=2 )

Arguments

HVC

a numeric Nx3 matrix or a vector that can be converted to such a matrix. Each row has an HVC vector, where H is Hue Number, and V and C are the standard Munsell Value and Chroma. The Hue is automatically wrapped to the interval (0,100].

Hue

a numeric vector of Hue Numbers, which are automatically wrapped to the interval (0,100].

format

determines the meaning of the argument digits, and usually equal to 'g' or 'f' though other options are available, see formatC() for details. When format='f' trailing 0s might be displayed.

digits

when format='g' the number of significant digits, and when format='f' the number of digits displayed after the decimal point. Both format and digits are passed as arguments to formatC().

Value

Both functions return a character vector of length N. MunsellNameFromHVC() returns the full notation. HueStringFromNumber() returns just initial the hue part; which is useful for labeling plots.
