Combine exdf objects by columns or rows

Combines one or more exdf objects by the columns or rows of their main_data. For rbind, errors will occur if column names are not the same in all of the exdf objects, and if all units and categories are not identical.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'exdf'
cbind(..., deparse.level = 1)

  # S3 method for class 'exdf'
rbind(
    ...,
    deparse.level = 1,
    make.row.names = TRUE,
    stringsAsFactors = FALSE
  )

Arguments

...

Two or more exdf objects.

deparse.level

See associated documentation for the generic versions of cbind and rbind.

make.row.names

See associated documentation for the generic version of rbind.

stringsAsFactors

See associated documentation for the generic version of rbind.

Value

Returns a new exdf object.

Examples

# Make some simple exdf objects. 1 and 2 have the same number of rows but
# different columns, while 1 and 3 have the same columns but different rows.

simple_exdf_2 <- exdf(data.frame(B = 2), data.frame(B = 'bu'), data.frame(B = 'bc'))
simple_exdf_3 <- exdf(data.frame(A = 2), data.frame(A = 'au'), data.frame(A = 'ac'))
