Details

An Emu segment list has a number of components and is stored as an R object of class emusegs. This function can be used to modify a segment list while retaining all of the proper structures.

Any new vectors passed to the function must have the same length as the segment list itself for this call to succeed.

All arguments are optional and default to not modifying the segment list if not supplied.

The original segment list is not modified, instead, a modified copy is returned.

Examples

data(vowlax)
segs = vowlax
# extend the start times by 10ms
newsegs <- modify.seglist( segs, start=start(segs)+10 )

# change the associated database name
# this will affect where emu.track looks to find data
newsegs <-  modify.seglist( segs, database="notdemo" )
