tipom.import: Import a data frame as a custom object with extra metadata
(attributes) such as the dataset name, the unit of measurement.
Description
Objects created by tipom.import can be passed directly to the
other functions provided by TIPOM, without need to specify the single
vectors containing data. So, for example, the function tipom.lw
will pick automatically the Length and Width columns of the data
frame, and the resulting plot will have an indication of the unit of
measurement.Usage
tipom.import(imported.data, name, units, description=NULL)
Arguments
imported.data
data frame containing the observations
name
the human-readable name of the data
units
the unit of measurement used in the data (e.g. cm or mm)
description
a longer description of the data
Value
- Returns a data frame with a few extra attributes that make it easier to
pass data from one function to another.
