constructs: Get or replace construct poles

In markheckmann/OpenRepGrid: Tools to Analyze Repertory Grid Data

Get or replace construct poles

Description

Allows to get and set construct poles. Replaces the older functions getConstructNames, getConstructNames2, and eNames which are deprecated.

Usage

constructs(x, collapse = FALSE, sep = " - ")

constructs(x, i, j) <- value

leftpoles(x)

leftpoles(x, position) <- value

rightpoles(x)

rightpoles(x, position) <- value

Arguments

x	A repgrid object.
collapse	Return vector with both poles instead.
sep	Separator if collapse = TRUE, default is " - ".
i, j	Row and column Index of repgrid matrix.
value	Character vector of construct poles names.
position	Index where to insert construct

Examples

# shorten object name
x <- boeker

## get construct poles
constructs(x) # both left and right poles
leftpoles(x) # left poles only
rightpoles(x)
constructs(x, collapse = TRUE)

## replace construct poles
constructs(x)[1, 1] <- "left pole 1"
constructs(x)[1, "leftpole"] <- "left pole 1" # alternative
constructs(x)[1:3, 2] <- paste("right pole", 1:3)
constructs(x)[1:3, "rightpole"] <- paste("right pole", 1:3) # alternative
constructs(x)[4, 1:2] <- c("left pole 4", "right pole 4")

l <- leftpoles(x)
leftpoles(x) <- sample(l) # brind poles into random order
leftpoles(x)[1] <- "new left pole 1" # replace name of first left pole

# replace left poles of constructs 1 and 3
leftpoles(x)[c(1, 3)] <- c("new left pole 1", "new left pole 3")
