Convert an exdf object to a data frame

Converts an exdf object to a data frame by appending the units and categories to the top of each column in the exdf object's main_data data frame. Typically this function is used for displaying the contents of an exdf object; in fact, it is used internally by View, write.csv, and other functions. The main_data of an exdf object x can be accessed directly (without including the units and categories in the first row) via x[['main_data']] as with any other list element.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'exdf'
as.data.frame(x, ...)

Arguments

x

An exdf object.

...

Unused.

Value

A data frame formed from x.

as.data.frame(simple_exdf) # Includes units and categories in the first rows
#>   A
#> 1 c
#> 2 u
#> 3 1
simple_exdf[['main_data']] # Just returns the main data
#>   A
#> 1 1
