plot_DRCSummary: Create a Dose-Response Curve Summary Plot

Description

While analysing OSL SAR or pIRIR-data the view on the data is limited usually to one dose-response curve (DRC) at the time for one aliquot. This function overcomes this limitation by plotting all DRC from an RLum.Results object created by the function analyse_SAR.CWOSL in one single plot.

Usage

plot_DRCSummary(
  object,
  source_dose_rate = NULL,
  sel_curves = NULL,
  show_dose_points = FALSE,
  show_natural = FALSE,
  n = 51L,
  ...
)

Value

An RLum.Results object is returned:

Slot: @data

OBJECT	TYPE	COMMENT
results	data.frame	with dose and LxTx values
data	RLum.Results	original input data

Slot: @info

OBJECT	TYPE	COMMENT
call	call	the original function call
args	list	arguments of the original function call

Note: If the input object is a list a list of RLum.Results objects is returned.

Arguments

object

RLum.Results object (required): input object created by the function analyse_SAR.CWOSL. The input object can be provided as list.

source_dose_rate

numeric (optional): allows to modify the axis and show values in Gy, instead seconds. Only a single numerical value is allowed.

sel_curves

numeric (optional): id of the curves to be plotting in its occurring order. A sequence can be provided for selecting, e.g., only every 2nd curve from the input object

show_dose_points

logical (with default): enable or disable plot of dose points in the graph

show_natural

logical (with default): enable or disable the plot of the natural Lx/Tx values

n

integer (with default): the number of x-values used to evaluate one curve object. Large numbers slow down the plotting process and are usually not needed

...

Further arguments and graphical parameters to be passed. In particular: main, xlab, ylab, xlim, ylim, lty, lwd, pch, col.pch, col.lty, mtext

Details

If you want plot your DRC on an energy scale (dose in Gy), you can either use the option source_dose_rate provided below or your can SAR analysis with the dose points in Gy (better axis scaling).

Examples

#load data example data
data(ExampleData.BINfileData, envir = environment())

#transform the values from the first position in a RLum.Analysis object
object <- Risoe.BINfileData2RLum.Analysis(CWOSL.SAR.Data, pos=1)

results <- analyse_SAR.CWOSL(
  object = object,
  signal.integral.min = 1,
  signal.integral.max = 2,
   background.integral.min = 900,
   background.integral.max = 1000,
   plot = FALSE
 )
