Inspect or change SUBJECT-AREA.

Usage

px_subject_area(x, value, validate)

# S3 method for class 'px'
px_subject_area(x, value, validate = TRUE)

Arguments

x

A px object

value

Optional. A character string to set the value for all languages or a data frame with columns 'language' and 'value' to set it for specific languages. If 'value' is missing, the current SUBJECT-AREA is returned. If NULL, an error is thrown because SUBJECT-AREA cannot be removed.

validate

Optional. If TRUE a number of validation checks are performed on the px object, and an error is thrown if the object is not valid. If FALSE, the checks are skipped, which can be usefull for large px objects where the check can be time consuming. Use px_validate() to manually preform the check.

Value

A px object, a character string, or a data frame.

Examples

# Set SUBJECT-AREA for all languages
x1 <-
  px(population_gl) |>
  px_subject_area('Population')

# Print SUBJECT-AREA
px_subject_area(x1)
#> [1] "Population"

# Set SUBJECT-AREA for individual languages
library(tibble)
x2 <-
  x1 |>
  px_languages(c('en', 'kl')) |>
  px_subject_area(tribble(~language, ~value,
                      'en', 'Population',
                      'kl', 'Innuttaasut'))
px_subject_area(x2)
#> # A tibble: 2 × 2
#>   language value      
#>   <chr>    <chr>      
#> 1 en       Population 
#> 2 kl       Innuttaasut
