elem	R Documentation

Display Information about Elements in a Given Object

Description

This function is depreciated. Please use ll instead.

Display name, class, size, and dimensions of each element in a given object.

Usage

elem(object=1, unit=c("KB","MB","bytes"), digits=0,
                 dimensions=FALSE)

Arguments

`object`	object containing named elements, perhaps a model or data frame.
`unit`	required unit for displaying element size: "KB", "MB", "bytes", or first letter.
`digits`	number of decimals to display when rounding element size.
`dimensions`	whether element dimensions should be returned.

Details

A verbose alternative to names().

Value

A data frame with named rows and the following columns:

`Class`	element class.
`KB`	element size (see notes).
`Dim`	element dimensions (optional).

Note

The name of the element size column is the same as the unit used.

Elements of class classRepresentation, ClassUnionRepresentation, and grob do not have a defined size, so 0 bytes are assumed for those.
