scale_x_wavenumber_continuous: Wavenumber x-scale

Description

Scale x continuous with defaults suitable for wavelengths expressed as wavenumbers [\(m^{-2}\)].

Usage

scale_x_wavenumber_continuous(
  unit.exponent = -6,
  name = w_number_label(unit.exponent = unit.exponent, label.text = label.text,
    axis.symbols = axis.symbols),
  breaks = scales::pretty_breaks(n = 7),
  labels = SI_pl_format(exponent = -unit.exponent),
  label.text = axis_labels()[["w.number"]],
  axis.symbols = getOption("ggspectra.axis.symbols", default = TRUE),
  ...
)

Arguments

unit.exponent

integer

name

The name of the scale, used for the axis-label.

breaks

The positions of ticks or a function to generate them.

labels

The tick labels or a function to generate them from the tick positions.

label.text

character Textual portion of the labels.

axis.symbols

logical If TRUE symbols of the quantities are added to the name. Supported only by format = "R.expression".

...

other named arguments passed to scale_y_continuous

Details

This scale automates the generation of axis labels when the variable mapped to the x aesthetic contains numeric values for wavelengths expressed wavenumbers. This is not how spectral data are stored in all the packages of the R for Photobiology suite and can be used in plots built with ggplot2() with explicit mapping using a conversion function. If desired, a secondary axis can be added manually as described in sec_axis.

Examples

ggplot(sun.spct, aes(x = wl2wavenumber(w.length), y = s.e.irrad)) +
  geom_line() +
  scale_x_wavenumber_continuous()

ggplot(sun.spct, aes(x = wl2wavenumber(w.length), y = s.e.irrad)) +
  geom_line() +
  scale_x_wavenumber_continuous(unit.exponent = -5)
