====== Clone ======

###
Creates a copy of the spectrum. The input //G1 = G2// creates two pointers to the same object. Changing //G1// will change //G2//. //G1=Spectra.Clone(G2)// will create two different objects.
###

===== Example =====

###
The following example creates a clone of //G// and stores this in the variable //GClone//. Next it sets //G2// equal to //G//. Shifting //G2// will also lead to a shift in //G//. //GClone// is independent of //G//.
###

==== Input ====
<code Quanty Example.Quanty>
dofile("definitions.Quanty")

GClone = Spectra.Clone(G)
G2 = G
G2.Shift(0.5)

G.Print({{"file","Spectra.dat"}})
G2.Print({{"file","Spectra2.dat"}})
GClone.Print({{"file","Spectra.Clone.dat"}})

gnuplotScript = gnuplotHead .. [[
set output "Spectra.Clone.ps"
plot "Spectra.dat"  using 1:(-$3+8) title 'G' with lines ls  1,\
     "Spectra2.dat"  using 1:(-$3+4) title 'G2' with lines ls  2,\
     "Spectra.Clone.dat"  using 1:(-$3) title 'Gclone' with lines ls  3
]]

file = io.open("Spectra.Clone.gnuplot", "w")
file:write(gnuplotScript)
file:close()

os.execute("gnuplot Spectra.Clone.gnuplot")
os.execute("convert -density 1024 Spectra.Clone.ps -resize 1024 Spectra.Clone.png")
