The variables of a tabxplor table

Which variable plays which role in a finished table: the row variable, the column variable(s) and the sub-table variable(s). Read off the table's own declared model (the index columns' stored roles and the fmt columns' col_var), never guessed from a column name — so it survives renaming, dplyr verbs and a merge of several row variables.

Superseded by tab_structure(), which answers the same question — as row_vars, col_vars and tab_vars — and says in the same breath what kind of object the table is (merged, grouped, a list) and which reshape operations accept it. tab_get_vars() keeps working, unchanged.

Usage

tab_get_vars(tabs, vars = c("row_var", "col_vars", "tab_vars"))

Arguments

tabs

A tibble of class tab, made with tab, tab_reg or tab_plain.

vars

A character vector naming the roles you want: "row_var", "col_vars" or "tab_vars".

Value

A list with the variables names.

See also

tab_structure(), which reports the table's STRUCTURE (merged / grouped / list) and which operations accept it.
