As our package ‘photobiologyInOut’ (versions >= 0.4.15) supports the automatic import of the files returned by the Quick TUV Calculator, we show here how to produce such files, and link to an example showing how to import and plot them in R.
Changes from version 0.9.25, the most recent CRAN release, are:
'tibble' from Imports: to Depends: as the spectral classes are derived from those exported by package 'tibble', making visibility of private specialized methods for tibbles always necessary when using this package.s_mean(), s_median(), s_range(), s_sd(), s_var(), s_sum(), s_prod() and s_mean_se() methods for collections of spectra that operate across spectra returning computed values at each wavelength—i.e. a single computed spectral object.na.action = "replace" to methods na.omit() and na.exclude().cps2irrad() not all attributes are copied.smooth_spct(): metadata not copied to returned spectrum.insert_hinges_spct(): metadata not fully copied to returned"wexler" and "goff.gratch" for water vapor pressure estimates. Add function water_vp2RH() and water_RH2vp() to compute relative humidity from water VP and air temperature.Documentation web site at http://docs.r4photobiology.info/photobiology/ includes all help pages, with output from all examples, and vignettes in HTML format.
NOTE: The updated package is on its way to CRAN.

Operators defined in package ‘patchwork’ can be used to combine multiple plots created with package ‘ggplot2’ or extensions to it, such as my own ‘ggpmisc’ and ‘ggspectra’. (The site ggplot2 extensions showcases at the moment more than 40 extensions to ‘ggplot2’.)
Package ‘patchwork’ has been developed by Thomas Lin Pedersen, and being relatively new, it is not yet in CRAN. It can be installed from the public Git repository at Github.
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("thomasp85/patchwork")The ‘ggplot2’ package provides a strong API for sequentially building up a plot, but does not concern itself with composition of multiple plots. ‘patchwork’ is a package that expands the API to allow for arbitrarily complex composition of plots by providing mathmatical operators for combining multiple plots. Other packages that address this need (but with a different approach) are ‘gridExtra’ and ‘cowplot’.
From the package’s DESCRIPTION.
Package ‘ggspectra’ provides function multiplot() for this purpose, but this function is minimalistic, with its most important handicap in its inability to independently align the plotting areas and axis labels of the composed plots.
An example using the operators / and & from ‘patchwork’ follows.
library(ggspectra)
library(patchwork)
p <- autoplot(sun.spct) /
autoplot(polyester.spct, range = c(280, 800)) /
autoplot(sun.spct * polyester.spct)
png("three-plots.png", height = 800, width = 600)
print(p) & theme_bw()
dev.off()
The main changes from version 0.4.18 the previous CRAN release, are:
Because of a code breaking change in package ‘readr’ this version of ‘photobiologyInOut’ requires ‘readr’ >= 1.3.0 to be installed. Function read_oopi_data() from ‘photobiologyInOut’ < 0.4.19 will not work as expected under ‘readr’ >= 1.3.0. (I thank Jim Hester for making a pull request that solved the problem introduced by the change in ‘readr’.)
