rllply: recursivly apply a function on a list

Description

recursivly apply a function on a list - and returns the output as a list, following the naming convention in the plyr package the big difference between this and rapply is that this will also apply the function on EACH element of the list, even if it's not a "terminal node" inside the list tree. An attribute is added to indicate if the value returned is from a branch or a leaf.

Usage

rllply(x, FUN, add_notation = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

a list.

FUN

a function to apply on each element of the list

add_notation

logical. Should each node be added a "position_type" attribute, stating if it is a "Branch" or a "Leaf".

...

not used.

Value

a list with ALL of the nodes (from the original "x" list), that FUN was applied on.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
x <- list(1)
x
rllply(x, function(x) {
  x
}, add_notation = TRUE)

x <- list(1, 2, list(31))
x
rllply(x, function(x) {
  x
}, add_notation = TRUE)
# the first element is the entire tree
# after FUN was applied to its root element.

hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests[1:4, ]), "ave")
dend <- as.dendrogram(hc)
rllply(dend, function(x) {
  attr(x, "height")
})
rllply(dend, function(x) {
  attr(x, "members")
})
# }
