Apercu (ap) is a R package made to give you a quick view (an aperçu in French) of any R object. It works (or is supposed to) on vectors, matrices, data frames (even with matrices inside), lists and arrays. Since the first versions, it is now able to select data from these objects. And finally, when you want more details, it also gives you the dimension and classes of the object.
To install it, in R, you currectly just need to:
install.packages("apercu")If you want to install the development version:
library(devtools)
install_github("achateigner/apercu")
library(apercu)Creation of a vector, a matrix, a data frame, a list, and 3 arrays of 3, 4 and 5 dimensions:
v <- c(1:20)
names(v) <- letters[1:20]
m <- matrix(1:100, 10, 10)
dimnames(m) <- list(letters[1:10], letters[1:10])
df <- as.data.frame(m)
li <- lapply(1:10, function(x) {u <- matrix((1:100)*x, 10,10); dimnames(u) <- list(letters[1:10], letters[1:10])
return(u)})
names(li) <- letters[1:10]
a <- array(c(1:1000), c(10,10,10))
dimnames(a) <- list(letters[1:10], letters[1:10], letters[1:10])
a2 <- array(1:10000, c(10,10,10,10))
dimnames(a2) <- list(letters[1:10], letters[1:10], letters[1:10], letters[1:10])
a3 <- array(1:100000, c(10,10,10,10,10))
dimnames(a3) <- list(letters[1:10], letters[1:10], letters[1:10], letters[1:10], letters[1:10])Automatic aperçu of the objects
ap(v)
ap(m)
ap(df)
ap(li)
ap(a)
ap(a2)
ap(a3)if the size of the object is very small :
sm <- matrix(1:4, 2, 2)
sDf <- as.data.frame(sm)
ap(sm)
ap(sDf)Specific aperçu of the objects
ap(v, list(1:2))
ap(m, list(c(1,3), c(1:5)))
ap(m, list(c(1,3,1:5))) # outputs a vector as only one dimension is given
ap(df, list(c(1,3,5), 1:10)) # outputs lines 1, 3 and 5, and columns 1 to 10
ap(li, list(c(1:3,5),c(4,6,9), c(3,6))) # the result is different between a list and an array
ap(a, list(c(1:3,5),c(4,6,9), c(3,6))) # as the dimensions of both are not in the same order
ap(a, list(1,3,5)) # outputs the element a[1,3,5]
ap(a, list(c(1,3,5))) # outputs the element a[c(1,3,5),1,1]
ap(a2, list(c(1:4),c(3:5),c(2:8),c(3:4)))
ap(a3, list(c(1:4),c(3:5),c(2:3),c(3:4), c(7:10)))To print also the dimensions and classes
print(ap(v), printAll = T)
print(ap(m), printAll = T)
print(ap(df), printAll = T)
print(ap(li), printAll = T)
print(ap(a), printAll = T)
print(ap(a2), printAll = T)
print(ap(a3), printAll = T)It also works with data frames with a matrix in it:
library(pls)
data("gasoline")
ap(gasoline)
ap(gasoline, list(1:10, list(1:10,1:10)))If you want to fork my work, nothing special is required (just citing my work). Here are the tests that are done on the package:
