Slice

Source code

Description

Get a slice of the LazyFrame.

Usage

<LazyFrame>$slice(offset, length = NULL)

Arguments

offset Start index, can be a negative value. This is 0-indexed, so offset = 1 doesn’t include the first row.
length Length of the slice. If NULL (default), all rows starting at the offset will be selected.

Value

A LazyFrame

Examples

library("polars")

as_polars_lf(mtcars)$slice(2, 4)$collect()
