as.data.frame.dist: Converts a 'dist' object to a 'data.frame' object.
In ProcMod: Informative Procrustean Matrix Correlation

Description Usage Arguments Author(s) Examples

The created data.frame has a attribute is.dist set to the logical value TRUE.

1 2	## S3 method for class 'dist' as.data.frame(x, row.names = NULL, optional = FALSE, ...)

`x`	the `dist` object to be converted
`row.names`	NULL or a `character` vector giving the row names for the data frame. Missing values are not allowed.
`optional`	logical. If `TRUE`, setting row names and converting column names (to syntactic names: see make.names) is optional. Note that all of R's base package as.data.frame() methods use optional only for column names treatment, basically with the meaning of data.frame(*, check.names = !optional). See also the make.names argument of the `matrix` method.
`...`	additional arguments to be passed to or from methods.
