Query if a spectrum contains absorbance or transmittance data

Description

Functions to check if an filter spectrum contains spectral absorbance data or spectral transmittance data.

Usage

is_absorbance_based(x)

is_transmittance_based(x)

Arguments

Value

is_absorbance_based returns TRUE if its argument is a filter_spct object that contains spectral absorbance data and FALSE if it does not contain such data, but returns NA for any other R object, including those belonging other generic_spct-derived classes.

is_transmittance_based returns TRUE if its argument is a filter_spct object that contains spectral transmittance data and FALSE if it does not contain such data, but returns NA for any other R object, including those belonging other generic_spct-derived classes.
