R: Split an intervals object according to a factor

split {intervals} | R Documentation

## Split an intervals object according to a factor

### Description

S3 and S4 methods for splitting `"Intervals"` or `"Intervals_full"` objects.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'Intervals_virtual'
    split(x, f, drop = FALSE, ...)

    ## S4 method for signature 'Intervals_virtual'
    split(x, f, drop = FALSE, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | `"Intervals"` or `"Intervals_full"` objects.
`f` | Passed to `split.data.frame`.
`drop` | Passed to `split.data.frame`.
`...` | Passed to `split.data.frame`.

### Value

A list of objects of the same class as `x`, split by the levels of `f`. Until R 2.15, special handling was not required. Subsequent changes to the base package `split` function required an explicit method here, but code already provided by `split.data.frame` was sufficient.
