as.define: Work with Data Definitions

In metrumrg: Pharmacometric Tools for Data Preparation, Modeling, Simulation, and Reporting

Description

For an existing spec object, as.define creates a define object. For a define object, methods cascade: as.pdf calls as.document which calls tabular. Any of these may be called directly.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'spec'
as.define(x,sep = ' = ',collapse = '; ',escape = c('_','%','$'),...)

Arguments

x	a spec object
sep	separates codes from respective decodes where given
collapse	separates code/decode pairs where given
escape	values to escape for proper latex formatting
...	extra arguments, ignored

Value

object of class 'define'

Note

A newline character in collapse may be combined with fixed width column(s) in as.document to good effect (wrapping of long code/decode lists).
