Functions to get or set the basis of an object containing atomic coordinates.
Usage
basis(x)
# S3 method for default
basis(x)
basis(x) <- value
# S3 method for default
basis(x) <- value
# S3 method for pdb
basis(x)
# S3 method for pdb
basis(x) <- value
Value
For basis:
NULL or a single element
character vector. (NULL is given if the object has no basis
attribute.)
For basis<-:
the updated object. (Note that the
value of basis(x) <- value is that of the assignment, value, not the
return value from the left-hand side.)
Arguments
x
an R object containing atomic coordinates.
value
a single element character vector use to set the basis of
x.
Details
basis and basis<- are respectively generic accessor and
replacement functions. The default methods get and set the basis
attribute of an object containing atomic coordinates. This attribute indicate
the type basis vector used to express atomic coordinates. value
must be equal to "xyz", for Cartesian, or "abc", for fractional
coordinates. The methods for objects of class ‘pdb’ get and set the
basis attribute of its atoms component.
