I am asking here first, rather than filing a feature request directly. It concerns a function in the grid package, maintained by R-core.
Is there a reason why grid::unit(x, units) does not preserve the names (if such exist) from vector x? I have a use-case where that would be helpful. But maybe there is some obstacle that I have not thought of? Current behaviour seems to be: > x <- 7:9 > names(x) <- letters[1:3] > x a b c 7 8 9 > z <- grid::unit(x, "native") > z [1] 7native 8native 9native > str(z) 'simpleUnit' num [1:3] 7native 8native 9native - attr(*, "unit")= int 4 > class(z) [1] "simpleUnit" "unit" "unit_v2" ## Now assign names > names(z) <- names(x) > z [1] 7native 8native 9native > names(z) [1] "a" "b" "c" > str(z) 'simpleUnit' Named num [1:3] 7native 8native 9native - attr(*, "unit")= int 4 - attr(*, "names")= chr [1:3] "a" "b" "c" I would welcome any comments or suggestions.
