Spectra Editor Function
What it does
The function specedit is a Graphical User Inferface based function for editing spectra. As an example of the functions's use, the the data file nir_data was loaded into the MATLAB workspace as shown in the upper figure. The file contains 30 NIR spectra of pseudo-gasoline samples measured on two spectrometers (spec1 and spec2) along with concentration information of several analytes (conc) and a wavelength axis (lamda). The specedit function is called with one of the sets of spectra and the wavelength axis as arguments. This produces a figure window with push buttons for activating the cursor so that one may select and deselect regions of the spectra (note that only the mean spectra is displayed). Selected regions are indicated by the small red dots. The edited spectra and wavelength axis indices can be saved to the workspace using dialog boxes (generated by the svdlgpls function) that are activated by the push buttons. The zoompls pushbuttons in the lower right of the figure can be used to zoom in on portions of the plot for better accuracy when selecting spectral features.
