A table without names displays like a vector:
> unname(table(2:3))
[1] 1 1 1
and preserves the table class (as with unname in general):
> dput(unname(table(2:3)))
structure(c(1L, 1L), .Dim = 2L, class = "table")
Does that make sense? R is not consistent in its treatment of such unname'd
tables:
In plot, they are considered erroneous input:
> plot(unname(table(2:3)))
Error in xy.coords(x, y, xlabel, ylabel, log) :
'x' and 'y' lengths differ
but in melt, they act as though they have names 1:n:
> melt(unname(table(2:3)))
indicies value
1 1 1
2 2 1
(By the way, is the spelling error built into too much code to be
corrected?)
-s
PS What is the standard way of extracting just the underlying vector?
c(unname(...)) works -- is that what is recommended?
