The levels of the object; character string |
drop |
Should non-occurring levels be dropped |
An extended version of a regular factor
variable. Instead of the levels having values from
1 to n where n is the number of levels, any integer value can be used for any level (including 64bit integers). If
all values are in the range of a regular 32-bit integer, it is coerced to int. Automatic coercion of extended factors
to factors in H5ToR_Post
for enums only works for 32-bit integer base types.
In this page this is heavily used, as constants in HDF5 can be arbitrary integer values.
