R: Display Information about Elements in a Given Object

elem {gdata} | R Documentation

## Display Information about Elements in a Given Object

### Description

This function is depreciated. Please use `ll` instead.

Display name, class, size, and dimensions of each element in a given object.

### Usage

    elem(object=1, unit=c("KB","MB","bytes"), digits=0,
                     dimensions=FALSE)

### Arguments

`object` | object containing named elements, perhaps a model or data frame.
`unit` | required unit for displaying element size: "KB", "MB", "bytes", or first letter.
`digits` | number of decimals to display when rounding element size.
`dimensions` | whether element dimensions should be returned.

### Details

A verbose alternative to `names()`.

### Value

A data frame with named rows and the following columns:

`Class` | element class.
`KB` | element size (see notes).
`Dim` | element dimensions (optional).

### Note

The name of the element size column is the same as the unit used.

Elements of class `classRepresentation`, `ClassUnionRepresentation`, and `grob` do not have a defined size, so 0 bytes are assumed for those.

`names`, `str`, and `summary` display different information about object elements.

`ll` and `env` are related to `elem`.
