+    SpectralIndex(name, [bands...])
+
+Compute the spectral index of given `name` from SpectralIndices.jl.
+Optionally, specify the column names corresponding to spectral `bands`
+as keyword arguments.
+
+# Examples
+
+```julia
+# vegetation index
+SpectralIndex("NDVI")
+
+# water index
+SpectralIndex("NDWI")
+
+# specify "R" (red) and "N" (near infra red) columns
+SpectralIndex("NDVI", R="col1", N="col4")
+```
+
+### Notes
+
+The list of supported indices can be obtained with `spectralindices()`
+and the list of spectral bands for a given index can be obtained with
+`spectralbands(name)`.
