Coerce to or replace PTTrack

Source: R/08coercion.r
PTTrack-method.Rd

This method will coerce a set of objects to a PTTrack object. It can also be used to select specific tracks from PTModule and PTPattern objects and replace the selected PTTrack.

Usage

# S4 method for raw,missing,missing
PTTrack(x)

# S4 method for matrix,missing,missing
PTTrack(x)

# S4 method for character,missing,missing
PTTrack(x)

# S4 method for PTModule,numeric,numeric
PTTrack(x, track, pattern)

# S4 method for PTModule,numeric,numeric,PTTrack
PTTrack(x, track, pattern) <- value

# S4 method for PTPattern,numeric,missing
PTTrack(x, track)

# S4 method for PTPattern,numeric,missing,PTTrack
PTTrack(x, track) <- value

Arguments

x

Object (any of raw data, a 64 by 4 matrix of raw data, a vector of character strings, a PTPattern or a PTModule) to coerce to a PTTrack. See details below for the required format of x

track

When x is a PTPattern, or a PTModule, provide an index [1,4] of the track that needs to be coerced to a PTTrack.

pattern

When x is a PTModule, provide an index of the pattern that needs to be coerced to a PTTrack. Note that ProTracker uses indices for patterns that start at zero, whereas R uses indices that start at one. Hence add one to an index obtained from a PTModule object (e.g., x$pattern.order)

value

An object of PTTrack with which the PTTrack object at the specified indices in object x needs to be replaced.

Value

When PTTrack is used, a PTTrack object based on x is returned.

When PTTrack<- is used, object x is returned in which the selected PTTrack is replaced with value.

Details

Method to coerce x to class PTTrack.

When x is a 64 by 4 matrix of raw data, each row implicitly represents a PTCell object and should be formatted accordingly. See PTCell documentation for more details.

When x is a 64 element vector of character representation of PTCell objects, the character representation must be conform the specifications as documented at the PTCell.

When x is of class PTPattern, or PTModule, the PTTrack at the specified indices (track and pattern) is returned, or can be replaced.

Examples

## This will create an 'empty' PTTrack with all nul
## values, which is equivalent to new("PTTrack"):
PTTrack(as.raw(0x00))
#>  [1] "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000"
#>  [6] "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000"
#> [11] "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000"
#> [16] "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000" "--- 00 000"

## This will generate a PTTrack from a repeated
## character representation of a PTCell:
chan <- PTTrack(rep("C-3 01 C20", 64))

data("mod.intro")

## This will replace the PTTrack at pattern
## number 1, track number 2 of mod.intro with chan:
PTTrack(mod.intro, 2, 1) <- chan
