as.hyperframe(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'listof'

Details

A hyperframe is like a data frame, except that its entries can be objects of any kind.

The generic function as.hyperframe converts any suitable kind of data into a hyperframe.

There are methods for the classes data.frame and listof, and a default method, all of which convert data that is like a hyperframe into a hyperframe object. (The method for the class listof converts a list of objects, of arbitrary type, into a hyperframe with one column.) These methods do not discard any information.

There are also methods for other classes (see as.hyperframe.ppx) which extract the coordinates from a spatial dataset. These methods do discard some information.

Value

An object of class "hyperframe" created by hyperframe.
