magrittr provides a series of aliases which can be more pleasant to use when composing chains using the %>% operator.

Details

Currently implemented aliases are

extract`[`
extract2`[[`
inset`[<-`
inset2`[[<-`
use_series`$`
add`+`
subtract`-`
multiply_by`*`
raise_to_power`^`
multiply_by_matrix`%*%`
divide_by`/`
divide_by_int`%/%`
mod`%%`
is_in`%in%`
and`&`
or`|`
equals`==`
is_greater_than`>`
is_weakly_greater_than`>=`
is_less_than`<`
is_weakly_less_than`<=`
not (`n'est pas`)`!`
set_colnames`colnames<-`
set_rownames`rownames<-`
set_names`names<-`
set_class`class<-`
set_attributes`attributes<-`
set_attr `attr<-`

Examples

   extract(, 1:4) %>%
   head
