split_index: Split Data Forms at Specified Indices

Description

Split data forms at specified integer indices.

Usage

split_index(
  x,
  indices = if (is.atomic(x)) {
     NULL
 } else {
     change_index(x)
 },
  names = NULL,
  ...
)
# S3 method for list
split_index(x, indices, names = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for data.frame
split_index(x, indices, names = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for matrix
split_index(x, indices, names = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for numeric
split_index(x, indices = change_index(x), names = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for factor
split_index(x, indices = change_index(x), names = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for character
split_index(x, indices = change_index(x), names = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for default
split_index(x, indices = change_index(x), names = NULL, ...)

Value

Returns of list of data forms broken at the indices.

Arguments

x

A data form (list, vector, data.frame, matrix).

indices

A vector of integer indices to split at. If indices contains the index 1, it will be silently dropped. The default value when x evaluates to TRUE for is.atomic is to use change_index(x).

names

Optional vector of names to give to the list elements.

...

Ignored.

Examples

## character
split_index(LETTERS, c(4, 10, 16))
split_index(LETTERS, c(4, 10, 16), c("dog", "cat", "chicken", "rabbit"))

## numeric
split_index(1:100, c(33, 66))

## factor
(p_chng <- change_index(CO2[["Plant"]]))
split_index(CO2[["Plant"]], p_chng)
#`change_index` was unnecessary as it is the default of atomic vectors
split_index(CO2[["Plant"]])

## list
split_index(as.list(LETTERS), c(4, 10, 16))

## data.frame
(vs_change <- change_index(mtcars[["vs"]]))
split_index(mtcars, vs_change)

## matrix
(mat <- matrix(1:50, nrow=10))
split_index(mat, c(3, 6, 10))
