vismodel 'cie2' and 'cie10' do not accept 390:700 rspecdata

[bittonp]

Not a big issue: the vismodel parameter visual = 'cie2' and 'cie10' does not accept rspecdata that only ranges from 390:700 nm, only 300:700. Inexperienced researchers that mostly work with human visual system may not know how to get access and modify internal visual system data.

@bittonp any tips on a workaround for this?

A very dirty workaround if you're in a hurry:

library(pavo)

## Create example data that cuts off at 390 nm
data(sicalis)
sicalis <- sicalis[sicalis$wl>=390, ]


## Recreate the 300-390nm range.
## WARNING: this fills the 300:390 wl range with bogus data. 
## It doesn't matter for vismodel() with cie visual system but 
## **it will be wrong for everything else**
sicalis <- as.rspec(sicalis, lim = c(300, 700), exceed.range = TRUE)

vismodel(sicalis, visual = "cie10")

quick and dirty! Thank you! 👏
