as.data.frame method {mondate}

Coerce a mondate to a Data Frame

Description

Function to coerce a mondate for containment in a data.frame.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'mondate'
as.data.frame(x, row.names = NULL, optional = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

a mondate.

row.names

NULL or a character vector giving the row names for the data frame. Missing values are not allowed.

Details

Although users would normally call data.frame, the as.data.frame function is the underlying workhorse that enables a mondate to be stored in a data.frame. When array-shaped mondates are stored, the number of rows is retained and if the dimension > 2 it is "flattened" in the usual data.frame sense. The mondate method is fashioned after the as.data.frame.Date method.
