Converting a list to a data frame

Duncan

I need to plot the results (ggplot2) and I'm thinking I can only use a data.frame object in ggplot2. It is a rath r large "list" over 1 million rows. It is possible to work with a matrix in ggplot2?

Others have shown you how to extract the matrix and convert it to a dataframe.  My only addition is to suggest that you don't do this: 
matrix methods are often much more efficient than dataframe methods, so if you can work with the matrix without conversion, you'll often find things run a lot faster.

How does one convert a list into a data frame?

  

str(weight_chains)

List of 1

$ : 'mcmc' num [1:100000, 1:3] -105 -105 -105 -104 -103 ...

   ..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2

   .. ..$ : NULL

   .. ..$ : chr [1:3] "a" "b" "s"

   ..- attr(*, "mcpar")= num [1:3] 1001 101000 1

- attr(*, "class")= chr "mcmc.list"

  

Such that ..

  

weight_chains



                a         b         s

1     -104.72512 1.0141407  9.369227

2     -104.52297 1.0167432  9.131354

3     -104.72669 1.0139528  9.219877
