units (version 0.6-1)

drop_units: Drop Units

Description

Drop units attribute and class.

Usage

drop_units(x)

Arguments

x

an object with units metadata.

Value

the numeric without any units attributes, while preserving other attributes like dimensions or other classes.

Details

Equivalent to units(x) <- NULL, or the pipe-friendly version set_units(x, NULL), but drop_units will fail if the object has no units metadata. Use the alternatives if you want this operation to succeed regardless of the object type.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
x <- 1
y <- set_units(x, m/s)

# this succeeds
drop_units(y)
set_units(y, NULL)
set_units(x, NULL)

# }
# NOT RUN {
# this fails
drop_units(x)
# }
# NOT RUN {
# }
