The following object is used to illustrate the functionality: ```{r} library(tidyged) simpsons <- gedcom(subm("Me"), gedcom_description = "Some of the Simpsons", gedcom_copyright = "No copyright") |> add_indi(qn = "Homer Simpson", sex = "M") |> add_indi_fact("bir", date = date_calendar(1960, 5, 14), fact_place = place(name = "Springfield, USA")) |> add_indi(qn = "Marge Simpson", sex = "F") |> add_indi_fact("bir", date = date_calendar(1960, 8, 24), fact_place = place(name = "Springfield, USA")) |> add_indi(qn = "Lisa Simpson", sex = "F") |> add_indi_fact("bir", date = date_calendar(1984, 12, 3), fact_place = place(name = "Springfield, USA")) |> add_indi(qn = "Bart Simpson", sex = "M") |> add_indi_fact("bir", date = date_calendar(1982, 3, 16), fact_place = place(name = "Springfield, USA")) homer_xref <- find_indi_name(simpsons, "Homer") marge_xref <- find_indi_name(simpsons, "Marge") bart_lisa_xref <- find_indi_name_all(simpsons, "Bart|Lisa") simpsons <- simpsons |> add_famg(husband = homer_xref, wife = marge_xref, children = bart_lisa_xref, number_of_children = 3) |> add_note("This is a note") |> add_note("This is another note") |> add_media("123", "PDF") |> add_media("456", "PDF") |> add_repo("A library") |> add_sour(originator = "J.R. Hartley", title = "A History of the Simpsons") |> add_sour(originator = "Prof. J Frink", title = "The screaming and the pain and the hoyvenglaven") ``` ## Global summaries The `str()` and `summary()` functions give a high level overview of tidyged objects: ```{r} summary(simpsons) str(simpsons) ``` ## Record type summaries The `num_*()` family of functions count the number of records of a particular type: ```{r} num_indi(simpsons) num_famg(simpsons) num_media(simpsons) ``` The `xrefs_*()` family of functions return the xrefs of records of a particular type: ```{r} xrefs_indi(simpsons) xrefs_note(simpsons) xrefs_sour(simpsons) ``` These functions are the workhorse of the `str()` function. The `df_*()` family of functions provide a tabular summary of all records of a particular type: ```{r} df_indi(simpsons) |> knitr::kable() df_famg(simpsons) |> knitr::kable() df_media(simpsons) |> knitr::kable() ``` ## Individual record summaries The `is_*()` family of functions determine whether an xref is a record of a particular type: ```{r} is_indi(simpsons, "@I1@") is_famg(simpsons, "@F1@") is_repo(simpsons, "@N1@") ``` The `describe_*()` family of functions give a description of certain records: ```{r} describe_indi(simpsons, find_indi_name(simpsons, "Bart")) describe_indi(simpsons, find_indi_name(simpsons, "Lisa"), name_only = TRUE) describe_indi(simpsons, find_indi_name(simpsons, "Homer"), short_desc = TRUE) describe_famg(simpsons, "@F1@") ``` Whilst this family of functions can only operate on one record at a time, the `describe_records()` function can take a whole vector of xrefs, potentially of different types (header, trailer, and duplicate records are ignored by this function): ```{r} describe_records(simpsons, simpsons$record) ``` As with the record-specific functions, setting `short_desc = TRUE` gives a shorter description. ```{r} describe_records(simpsons, simpsons$record, short_desc = TRUE) ```
