Get the "what.measured" attribute

Method to read the "what.measured" attribute of an R object.

Usage

getWhatMeasured(x, ...)

what_measured(x, ...)

# Default S3 method
getWhatMeasured(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'generic_spct'
getWhatMeasured(x, ..., simplify = FALSE)

# S3 method for class 'summary_generic_spct'
getWhatMeasured(x, ..., simplify = FALSE)

# S3 method for class 'data.frame'
getWhatMeasured(x, ..., simplify = FALSE)

# S3 method for class 'generic_mspct'
getWhatMeasured(x, ..., idx = "spct.idx", simplify = FALSE)

Arguments

x

an R object.

...

Allows use of additional arguments in methods for other classes.

simplify

logical If all members share the same attribute value return one copy instead of a data.frame.

idx

character Name of the column with the names of the members of the collection of spectra.

Value

character vector An object containing a description of the data. If x does not belong to a supported class NA is returned.

Note

The method for collections of spectra returns the a data.frame with a column of character strings.
