viewsource
and sourceindices
functions
#2371
This is a follow up from discussion in #2325 to keep track of it.
parent
andparentindices
applied onSubDataFrame
orDataFrameRow
give indices in the data frame that actually stores data that the view points to (currently it is onlyDataFrame
). This is the same behaviour as is in Julia Base.However, for data frames it might be useful to also produce
viewsource
andsourceindices
that gives the same information but for a direct source from whichSubDataFrame
orDataFrameRow
was created (similarly to whatrownumber
does forDataFrameRow
).Adding this would complicate a design a bit and at lest I believe that it is not really needed (there were no requests for such functionality; as opposed to
rownumber
which I believe is useful). Therefore I leave this issue open to discuss and get feedback if this functionality is needed.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
