Drop units attribute and class.
Usage
drop_units(x)
# S3 method for units
drop_units(x)
# S3 method for data.frame
drop_units(x)
# S3 method for mixed_units
drop_units(x)Value
the numeric without any units attributes, while preserving other attributes like dimensions or other classes.
Details
Equivalent to units(x) <- NULL, or the pipe-friendly version
set_units(x, NULL), but drop_units will fail if the object has
no units metadata. Use the alternatives if you want this operation to succeed
regardless of the object type.
A data.frame method is also provided, which checks every column and
drops units if any.
Examples
x <- 1
y <- set_units(x, m/s)
# this succeeds
drop_units(y)
#> [1] 1
set_units(y, NULL)
#> [1] 1
set_units(x, NULL)
#> [1] 1
if (FALSE) {
# this fails
drop_units(x)
}
df <- data.frame(x=x, y=y)
df
#> x y
#> 1 1 1 [m/s]
drop_units(df)
#> x y
#> 1 1 1
