Make units explicit

This function is intended for data frames / tibbles only and makes the units of columns that have numbers with units explicit in the column name. It also strips the units attribute from those columns using iso_strip_units. The reverse function is iso_make_units_implicit.

iso_make_units_explicit(df, prefix = " [", suffix = "]")

Arguments

df

the data frame in which to make the units explicit

prefix

the prefix for the units

suffix

the suffix for the units

Other functions for values with units: iso_get_units(), iso_is_double_with_units(), iso_make_units_implicit(), iso_strip_units(), iso_with_units()

Examples

# a data frame with implicit units
df <- tibble(peak = 1:5, height = iso_double_with_units(1:5, "V"))
df
#> # A tibble: 5 × 2
#>    peak   height
#>   <int> <dbl[V]>
#> 1     1        1
#> 2     2        2
#> 3     3        3
#> 4     4        4
#> 5     5        5

# show with explicit units
iso_make_units_explicit(df)
#> # A tibble: 5 × 2
#>    peak `height [V]`
#>   <int>        <dbl>
#> 1     1            1
#> 2     2            2

#> 4     4            4
#> 5     5            5
