d2lv

Data-Frame to List of (Atomic) Vectors

Description

d2lv converts a data.frame to a list of (atomic) vectors. This function is really only worthwhile when along = 1 since when along = 2, the function is essentially as.list.data.frame(d).

Usage

d2lv(d, along, check = TRUE)

Arguments

`d`	data.frame.
`along`	numeric vector of length 1 specifying which dimension to slice the data.frame along. If 1, then the data.frame is sliced by rows. If 2, then the data.frame is sliced by columns.
`check`	logical vector of length 1 specifying whether to check the structure of the input arguments. For example, check whether `d` is a data.frame. This argument is available to allow flexibility in whether the user values informative error messages (TRUE) vs. computational efficiency (FALSE).

Value

list of (atomic) vectors. If along = 1, then the names are the rownames of d and the vectors are rows from d. If along = 2, then the names are the colnames of d and the vector are columns from d. Note, the vectors always have the same length as nrow(d).

Examples

d2lv(mtcars, along = 1)
d2lv(mtcars, along = 2)
d2lv(CO2, along = 1) # all vectors converted to typeof character
d2lv(CO2, along = 2) # each column stays its own typeof (or class for factors)
# check = FALSE
try_expr(d2lv(mtcars, along = 3, check = FALSE)) # less informative error message
try_expr(d2lv(mtcars, along = 3, check = TRUE)) # more informative error message
