R Documentation

Convert a Mashed Table to a data.table or data.frame

Description

Convert a Mashed Table to a data.table or data.frame

Usage

## S3 method for class 'Mashed_table'
as.data.table(
  x,
  keep.rownames = NULL,
  ...,
  mash_method = attr(x, "mash_method"),
  insert_blank_row = attr(x, "insert_blank_row"),
  id_vars = attr(x, "id_vars"),
  suffixes = names(x)
)

## S3 method for class 'Mashed_table'
as.data.frame(
  x,
  row.names = NULL,
  optional = FALSE,
  ...,
  mash_method = attr(x, "mash_method"),
  insert_blank_row = attr(x, "insert_blank_row"),
  id_vars = attr(x, "id_vars"),
  suffixes = names(x)
)

Arguments

`x`	a Mashed_table
`keep.rownames`	ignored
`...`	passed on to `as.data.table()` or `as.data.frame()` respectively
`mash_method`	either `"row"` or `"col"`. Should the tables be mashed together with alternating rows or with alternating columns?
`insert_blank_row`	Only if mashing rows: logical. Whether to insert blank rows between mash-groups. Warning: this converts all columns to character. Use with care.
`id_vars`	Only if mashing columns: one ore more colnames of the tables to be mashed. If supplied, columns of both input tables are combined with `merge()`, otherwise `cbind()` is used.
`suffixes`	a character vector of length 2 specifying the suffixes to be used for making unique the names of columns.
`row.names`	ignored
`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.
