Details

A character or a factor vector of codes returns a corresponding vector of definitions. label_ilostat labels also data_frames from get_ilostat. For vectors a dictionary "time" and "values" columns are returned as they were, so you can supply data_frame from get_ilostat and get data_frame with definitions instead of codes.
