R: Remove "generic_spct" and derived class attributes.

rmDerivedSpct {photobiology} | R Documentation

## Remove "generic_spct" and derived class attributes.

### Description

Removes from an spectrum object the class attributes "generic_spct" and any derived class attribute such as "source_spct". This operation is done by reference!

### Usage

    rmDerivedSpct(x)

### Arguments

`x` | an R object.

### Value

A character vector containing the removed class attribute values. This is different to the behaviour of function `unlist` in base R!

### Note

If `x` is an object of any of the spectral classes defined in this package, this function changes by reference the spectrum object into the underlying data.frame object. Otherwise, it just leaves `x` unchanged.

This function alters x itself by reference. If x is not a generic_spct object, x is not modified.

### See Also

Other set and unset spectral class functions: `setGenericSpct`

### Examples

    my.spct <- sun.spct
    removed <- rmDerivedSpct(my.spct)
    removed
    class(sun.spct)
    class(my.spct)
