name_rows {plyr} | R Documentation |
Plyr functions ignore row names, so this function
provides a way to preserve them by converting them to an
explicit column in the data frame. After the plyr
operation, you can then apply name_rows
again to
convert back from the explicit column to the implicit
rownames
.
