bin: Create a binned variable.

In hadley/bigvis: Tools for visualisation of big data sets

Description

Create a binned variable.

Usage

bin(x, width = find_width(x), origin = find_origin(x, width), name = NULL)

Arguments

x	numeric or integer vector
width	bin width. If not specified, about 10,000 bins will be chosen using the algorithim in find_width.
origin	origin. If not specified, guessed by find_origin.
name	name of original variable. This will be guessed from the input to group if not supplied. Used in the output of condense etc.

Details

This function produces an R reference class that wraps around a C++ function. Generally, you should just treat this as an opaque object with reference semantics, and you shouldn't call the methods on it - pass it to condense and friends.

Examples

x <- runif(1e6)
bin(x)
bin(x, 0.01)
bin(x, 0.01, origin = 0.5)
