Title: Providing 'stringsAsFactors=FALSE' Variants of 'data.frame()' and 'as.data.frame()'
Version: 0.0.1

Description: Base R's default setting for 'stringsAsFactors' within 'data.frame()' and 'as.data.frame()' is supposedly the most often complained about piece of code in the R infrastructure. The 'hellno' package provides an explicit solution without changing R itself or having to mess around with options. It tries to solve this problem by providing alternative 'data.frame()' and 'as.data.frame()' functions that are in fact simple wrappers around base R's 'data.frame()' and 'as.data.frame()' with 'stringsAsFactors' option set to 'HELLNO' ( which in turn equals FALSE ) by default.

logical constant for FALSE

Description

logical constant for FALSE

Usage

HELLNO

Format

 logi FALSE

alternative as.data.frame() implementation

Description

hellno::as.data.frame() wraps up base::as.data.frame() so that stringAsFactors is set to HELLNO ( == FALSE ) by default

Usage

as.data.frame(x, row.names = NULL, optional = FALSE,
  stringsAsFactors = HELLNO, ...)

Arguments

x

see as.data.frame

row.names

see as.data.frame

optional

see as.data.frame

stringsAsFactors

see as.data.frame by default set to FALSE

...
