In ds4psy: Data Science for Psychologists

map_text_chars maps the characters of a text string into a table (with x/y coordinates).

Description

map_text_chars parses text (from a text string x) into a table that contains a row for each character and x/y-coordinates corresponding to the character positions in x.

Usage

map_text_chars(x, flip_y = FALSE)

Arguments

x	The text string(s) to map (required). If length(x) > 1, elements are mapped to different lines (i.e., y-coordinates).
flip_y	Boolean: Should y-coordinates be flipped, so that the lowest line in the text file becomes y = 1, and the top line in the text file becomes y = n_lines? Default: flip_y = FALSE.

Details

map_text_chars creates a data frame with 3 variables: Each character's x- and y-coordinates (from top to bottom) and a variable char for the character at these coordinates.

Note that map_text_chars was originally a part of read_ascii, but has been separated to enable independent access to separate functionalities.

Note that map_text_chars is replaced by the simpler map_text_coord function.

Value

A data frame with 3 variables: Each character's x- and y-coordinates (from top to bottom) and a variable char for the character at this coordinate.
