Source: R/save_labels.R
save_labels.Rd

Saves the attributes and levels (and their order) from a projoint_data object, as generated by reshape_projoint, to a CSV file. This enables manual reordering and later re-import via read_labels.

Usage

save_labels(.data, .filename)

Arguments

.data

A projoint_data object.

.filename

A character string giving the name of a CSV file to be written.

Value

No return value, called for side effects (writes a CSV file).

reshaped <- reshape_projoint(
  exampleData1,
  .outcomes = c(paste0("choice", 1:8), "choice1_repeated_flipped")
)
tmpfile <- tempfile(fileext = ".csv")
save_labels(reshaped, tmpfile)
readLines(tmpfile, n = 5)  # show first few lines
