list.ungroup {rlist}R Documentation

Ungroup a list by taking out second-level elements

Description

This functon reverses the grouping operation by taking out second-level elements of a nested list and removing the labels of the first-level elements. For example, a list may be created from paged data, that is, its first-level elements only indicate the page container. To unpage the list, the first-level elements must be removed and their inner elements should be taken out to to the first level.

Usage

list.ungroup(.data, level = 1L, ..., group.names = FALSE, sort.names = FALSE)

Arguments

.data

list

level

integer to indicate to which level of list elements should be ungroupped to the first level.

...

Preserved use of parameter passing

group.names

logical. Should the group names be preserved?

sort.names

logical. Should the members be sorted after ungrouping?

Examples

x <- list(p1 = list(type='A',score=list(c1=10,c2=8)),
       p2 = list(type='B',score=list(c1=9,c2=9)),
       p3 = list(type='B',score=list(c1=9,c2=7)))
xg <- list.group(x, type)
list.ungroup(xg)

x <- list(a = list(a1 = list(x=list(x1=2,x2=3),y=list(y1=1,y2=3))),
       b = list(b1 = list(x=list(x1=2,x2=6),y=list(y1=3,y2=2))))
list.ungroup(x, level = 1)
list.ungroup(x, level = 2)
list.ungroup(x, level = 2, group.names = TRUE)
