Specs A list with 7 elements

AS_wide

A table of action spectra for the 5 human receptor types and V(lambda) from 1924. The table is in the wide format. The unit of the wavelength (Wellenlaenge) is nm, the unit of the action spectrum is 1 (dimensionless).

AS_long

A table of action spectra for the 5 human receptor types and V(lambda) from 1924. The table is in the long format. The unit of the wavelength (Wellenlaenge) is nm, the unit of the action spectrum is 1 (dimensionless).

Efficacy

A named vector of inverse values of efficacy of luminous radiation for the 5 human receptor types and V(lambda) from 1924. The unit is lm/W.

Alpha

A list. names contains the names of the 5 human receptor types. adjectives contains these names in their adjective form for every languages included in Spectran. descriptions contains the descriptions used for tables and plotting. abb contains the abbreviations (if any) used for the equivalent daylight illuminance for that receptor type.

Vlambda

A character scalar containing the properly escaped version of V(lambda), used e.g. in Plots

Alpha.ico

A character scalar containing the properly escaped version of the sign alpha, used e.g. in Plots

Plot

A table of Peak Wavelength (nm) values, Names, Abbreviations, and colors for the 5 human receptor types and V(lambda) from 1924. This table is mainly used for plotting.
