[Rd] [bug] droplevels() also drop object attributes (comment…)

[Serge Bibauw]

Hi,

Just reporting a small bug… not really a big deal, but I don’t think that is intended: droplevels() also drops all object’s attributes.

Example:

> > test <- c("hello", "something", "hi")
> > test <- factor(test)
> > comment(test) <- "this is a test"
> > attr(test, "description") <- "this is another test"
> > attributes(test)
> $levels
> [1] "hello"     "hi"        "something"
>
> $class
> [1] "factor"
>
> $comment
> [1] "this is a test"
>
> $description
> [1] "this is another test"
>
> > test <- droplevels(test)
> > attributes(test)
> $levels
> [1] "hello"     "hi"        "something"
>
> $class
> [1] "factor"
