[R] as.matrix and one row

[Federico Calboli]

Hi All,

I have the following problem:

x = c(1,2)
x
[1] 1 2

as.matrix(x)
     [,1]
[1,]    1
[2,]    2

BUT, if I add:

y = c(3,4)

as.matrix(rbind(x,y))
  [,1] [,2]
x    1    2
y    3    4

It does not transpose. Since I will need as.matrix() for a list of data
that is in one or more lines, I need as.matrix to behave in a consisten
fashions, so I get 

as.matrix(x, whatever)
  [,1] [,2]
x    1    2

and 

as.matrix(rbind(x,y), whatever)
  [,1] [,2]
x    1    2
y    3    4

I tried byrow =T, does not make a thing.

Regards,

Federico Calboli
