NEWS file for package SpecHelpers Utility functions for spectroscopy. 1. Functions to simulate spectra for use in teaching or testing. 2. Functions to process files created by 'LoggerPro' and 'SpectraSuite' software. Bryan A. Hanson DePauw University, Greencastle Indiana USA URL: github.com/bryanhanson/SpecHelpers Changes in version 0.2.7 2017-07-26 + Forced the ylim for the plot from qMS to be c(0, 100) and added a horizontal line at y = 0. + Fixed a problem in plotNMRspec which prevented spectra with a single peak (e.g. t-butyl) from having the peak area displayed. Changes in version 0.2.2 2016-01-26 + Added function emSpectrum which draws a nice electromagnetic spectrum for teaching purposes. + Added function plotCIEchrom which plots the 1931 CIE chromaticity diagram with various annotations. This was previously in package photoSpec, whose development is stalled. Helper functions prepCIEgradient, getWhiteValues and getGamutValues as well as data set CIExyz were brought over as well. + Improved documentation for plotNMRspectra. + Changed some technical details of how data set CIExyz becomes available. Changes in version 0.1.19 2015-07-16 + Revised imports for new CRAN namespace policies. Changes in version 0.1.6 2015-05-08 + Code tweaking to speed up examples for CRAN checks Changes in version 0.1.5 2015-05-07 + Small changes for CRAN (dontrun some examples) + Added CITATION file. Changes in version 0.1.3 2015-05-07 + Improved plot2DNMRspec examples. + Misc. improvements to Rd files. Changes in version 0.1-2 2015-04-17 + Numerous tweeks to documentation. + Changed qMS to base graphics instead of ggplot2. Changes in version 0.1-2 2015-04-05 + plotNMRspec gains a plot argument so that plot2DNMRspec can suppress it. + plotNMRspec axis labeling improved. Changes in version 0.1-1 2015-04-04 + Updated README + Added preliminary version of plot2DNMRspec. Changes in version 0.1-0 2015-04-04 + Package created from selected functions in HandyStuff.
