Examples

Run this code
x1 <- as.item(rep(1:5,4),
              labels=c(
                  A = 1,
                  A = 2,
                  B = 3,
                  B = 4,
                  C = 5
              ),
              annotation = c(
                  description="Yet another test"
))
              
x2 <- as.item(rep(1:4,5),
              labels=c(
                  i   = 1,
                  ii  = 2,
                  iii = 3,
                  iii = 4
                  ),
              annotation = c(
                  description="Still another test"
))

x3 <- as.item(rep(1:2,10),
