taxa (version 0.1.0)

subtaxa_apply: Apply function to subtaxa of each taxon

Description

Apply a function to the subtaxa for each taxon. This is similar to using subtaxa() with lapply() or sapply().

obj$subtaxa_apply(func, subset = NULL, recursive = TRUE,
  simplify = FALSE, include_input = FALSE, value = NULL, ...)
subtaxa_apply(obj, func, subset = NULL, recursive = TRUE,
  simplify = FALSE, include_input = FALSE, value = NULL, ...)

Arguments

obj

The taxonomy() or taxmap() object containing taxon information to be queried.

func

(function) The function to apply.

subset

(character) taxon_ids or indexes of taxon_data for which supertaxa will be returned. Default: All taxa in obj will be used.

recursive

(logical or numeric) If FALSE, only return the supertaxa one rank above the target taxa. If TRUE, return all the supertaxa of every supertaxa, etc. Positive numbers indicate the number of recursions (i.e. number of ranks above the target taxon to return). 1 is equivalent to FALSE. Negative numbers are equivalent to TRUE.

simplify

(logical) If TRUE, then combine all the results into a single vector of unique values.

include_input

(logical) If TRUE, the input taxa are included in the output

value

What data to give to the function. Any result of all_names(obj) can be used, but it usually only makes sense to use data that has an associated taxon id.

...

Extra arguments are passed to the function.
