Hi David,

you could use a mix of "plyr" and reshape:

# Example datasets
# Input
propsum <- data.frame(coverClass=c("C", "G", "L", "O", "S"),
                      R209120812=c(NA, 0.49, 0.38, 0.04, 0.09),
                      R209122212=c(0.05, 0.35, 0.41, 0.09, 0.10))

library(plyr)
xpropsum <- melt(propsum, id.var="coverClass", variable_name = "Image")
tpropsum <- reshape(xpropsum, timevar="coverClass", idvar="Image", direction="wide")
colnames(tpropsum) <- sub("value.", "", colnames(tpropsum))
tpropsum

Cheers
Patrick

Greetings all,

I am having difficulty transposing, reshaping, flipping (not sure which) a data 
frame which is read from a DBF file.  I have tried using t(), reshape() and 
other approaches without success. Can anyone please suggest an way (elegant or 
not) of flipping this data around ?

The initial data is like propsum (defined below), and I want it to look like 
tpropsum once reformed.
propsum
   coverClass R209120812 R209122212
1          C         NA       0.05
2          G       0.49       0.35
3          L       0.38       0.41
4          O       0.04       0.09
5          S       0.09       0.10

tpropsum
        Image    C    G    L    O  L.1
1 R209120812   NA 0.49 0.38 0.04 0.09
2 R209122212 0.05 0.35 0.41 0.09 0.10

# Example datasets
# Input
propsum<- data.frame(coverClass=c("C", "G", "L", "O", "S"),
                       R209120812=c(NA, 0.49, 0.38, 0.04, 0.09),
                       R209122212=c(0.05, 0.35, 0.41, 0.09, 0.10))

# Desired output
tpropsum<- data.frame(Image=c("R209120812", "R209122212"),
                       C=c(NA, 0.05),
                       G=c(0.49, 0.35),
                       L=c(0.38, 0.41),
                       O=c(0.04, 0.09),
                       L=c(0.09, 0.10))

Thanks,
David
