This update to ‘ggspectra’ tracks changes in ‘photobiology’ 0.10.15, ‘photobiologyWavebands’ 0.5.1 and ‘ggplot2’ 3.4.0, as well as in R 4.1.0. These are mostly deprecations that would trigger warnings. Please, be aware that these versions or later are now required.
The corrected definition of PAR() in ‘photobiologyWavebands’ 0.5.1 is code breaking as this change will cause some plots, especially annotations in them to change, when PAR() has been explicitly called in users’ code for quantities that are not photon based, in most cases with a warning.
New x scales and new functions for adding secondary x axes have been implemented.
The changes from version 0.3.9, the current CRAN release, are:
Track bug fix in ‘photobiologyWavebands’, that updated the definition of
PAR()(photosynthetically active radiation) as a BSWF (biological spectral weighting function). The previous definition ofPAR()as a wavelength range returned a value that can be called “PAR” only when used to compute photon irradiance or photon exposure. This change does not affect the numerical values of energy irradiances or other spectral quantities when usingautoplot()with the defaultw.bandargument, but now the waveband is labelled PhR instead of PAR in such casesTrack changes in ‘photobiology’ 0.10.15.
Add
sec_axis_energy_eV()andsec_axis_energy_J()to express wavelength as energy per photon, andsec_axis_wl()to allow a secondary wavelength axis with wavelengths expressed using a different scale factor than in the main axis.Add scales
scale_x_wavenumber_continuous(),scale_x_frequency_continuous(),scale_x_energy_eV_continuous()andscale_x_energy_J_continuous().This version requires R (>= 4.1.0) and ‘ggplot2’ (>= 3.4.0).
