[R] Space required by object?

[jim holtman]

Here is a function I use:

 my.ls  <-  function(pos=1, sorted=F){
   .result <- sapply(ls(pos=pos, all.names=TRUE),
       function(..x)object.size(eval(as.symbol(..x))))
   if (sorted){
       .result <- rev(sort(.result))
   }
   .ls <- as.data.frame(rbind(as.matrix(.result),"**Total"=sum(.result)))
   names(.ls) <- "Size"
   .ls$Size <- formatC(.ls$Size, big.mark=',', digits=0, format='f')
   .ls$Mode <- c(unlist(lapply(rownames(.ls)[-nrow(.ls)],
       function(x)mode(eval(as.symbol(x))))), '-------')
   .ls
}
