Arguments

FUN

a unary function to be applied to specified rows and columns of a

a

the argument to FUN

row

the row name of the element to which FUN will be applied

col

the column name of the element to which FUN will be applied

Examples

divide <- function(x, divisor){
  x/divisor
}
m <- matrix(c(1:4), nrow = 2, ncol = 2, dimnames = list(c("r1", "r2"), c("c1", "c2"))) %>% 
  setrowtype("row") %>% setcoltype("col")
elementapply_byname(divide, a = m, row = 1, col = 1, .FUNdots = list(divisor = 2))
elementapply_byname(divide, a = m, row = 1, col = 2, .FUNdots = list(divisor = 10))
elementapply_byname(divide, a = m, row = "r2", col = "c2", .FUNdots = list(divisor = 100))
