Dan, You could write a function that just creates the data. And call this function each time you need the data.

QUESTION: is there a way to make objects (e.g. data frames) read-only? BACKGROUND: I am writing some functions that use a data frame (frequencies of tidal constituents) that I want to be read-only. I can see how to accomplish this within a single function (just define the data in the function), but I'm not sure how to share read-only values between (un-nested) functions. Is there a more elegant method than duplicating the creation of the data frame in each function? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/how-to-make-read-only-data-frames--tp14756183p1475 6183.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
