Method: Polars::DataFrame#transpose

Defined in:

lib/polars/data_frame.rb

#transpose(include_header: false, header_name: "column", column_names: nil) ⇒ DataFrame

Note:

This is a very expensive operation. Perhaps you can do it differently.

Transpose a DataFrame over the diagonal.

Examples:

df = Polars::DataFrame.new({"a" => [1, 2, 3], "b" => [1, 2, 3]})
df.transpose(include_header: true)
# =>
# shape: (2, 4)
# ┌────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┐
# │ column ┆ column_0 ┆ column_1 ┆ column_2 │
# │ ---    ┆ ---      ┆ ---      ┆ ---      │
# │ str    ┆ i64      ┆ i64      ┆ i64      │
# ╞════════╪══════════╪══════════╪══════════╡
# │ a      ┆ 1        ┆ 2        ┆ 3        │
# │ b      ┆ 1        ┆ 2        ┆ 3        │
# └────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┘

Replace the auto-generated column names with a list

df.transpose(include_header: false, column_names: ["a", "b", "c"])
# =>
# shape: (2, 3)
# ┌─────┬─────┬─────┐
# │ a   ┆ b   ┆ c   │
# │ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- │
# │ i64 ┆ i64 ┆ i64 │
# ╞═════╪═════╪═════╡
# │ 1   ┆ 2   ┆ 3   │
# │ 1   ┆ 2   ┆ 3   │
# └─────┴─────┴─────┘

Include the header as a separate column

df.transpose(
  include_header: true, header_name: "foo", column_names: ["a", "b", "c"]
)
# =>
# shape: (2, 4)
# ┌─────┬─────┬─────┬─────┐
# │ foo ┆ a   ┆ b   ┆ c   │
# │ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- ┆ --- │
# │ str ┆ i64 ┆ i64 ┆ i64 │
# ╞═════╪═════╪═════╪═════╡
# │ a   ┆ 1   ┆ 2   ┆ 3   │
# │ b   ┆ 1   ┆ 2   ┆ 3   │
# └─────┴─────┴─────┴─────┘

Parameters:

• (defaults to: false)

  If set, the column names will be added as first column.

• (defaults to: "column")

  If include_header is set, this determines the name of the column that will be inserted.

• (defaults to: nil)

  Optional generator/iterator that yields column names. Will be used to replace the columns in the DataFrame.

Returns:
