row: Row Indexes

In robertzk/monadicbase: The R Base Package

Description

Returns a matrix of integers indicating their row number in a matrix-like object, or a factor indicating the row labels.

Usage

row(x, as.factor = FALSE)

Arguments

x	a matrix-like object, that is one with a two-dimensional dim.
as.factor	a logical value indicating whether the value should be returned as a factor of row labels (created if necessary) rather than as numbers.

Value

An integer (or factor) matrix with the same dimensions as x and whose ij-th element is equal to i (or the i-th row label).
