The convert command can convert certain types of expressions expr to a DataSeries, and can convert a DataSeries ds to certain other types typ.

The convert( expr, DataSeries ) form of the command converts an expression expr, of type list, Array, Vector or table, to a DataSeries object. Note that the order of the elements in the resulting DataSeries is not well-defined in the case that expr is a table.

A DataSeries ds can be converted to a list, set, Array, Vector or Matrix.

$\mathrm{ds}≔\mathrm{convert}\left(\left[1\,2\,3\right]\,\mathrm{DataSeries}\right)$

$\mathrm{ds}≔\left[\begin{array}{cc}1& 1\\ 2& 2\\ 3& 3\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{type}\left(\mathrm{ds}\,\mathrm{DataSeries}\right)$

$\mathrm{true}$

$\mathrm{convert}\left(⟨1\,2\,3⟩\,\mathrm{DataSeries}\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}1& 1\\ 2& 2\\ 3& 3\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{convert}\left(\mathrm{table}\left(\left[a=1\,b=2\,c=3\right]\right)\,\mathrm{DataSeries}\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}a& 1\\ b& 2\\ c& 3\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{convert}\left(\mathrm{ds}\,'\mathrm{list}'\right)$

$\left[1\,2\,3\right]$

$\mathrm{convert}\left(\mathrm{ds}\,'\mathrm{Array}'\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 2& 3\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{convert}\left(\mathrm{ds}\,'\mathrm{Vector}\left[\mathrm{row}\right]'\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 2& 3\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{convert}\left(\mathrm{ds}\,'\mathrm{Matrix}'\right)$

$\left[\begin{array}{c}1\\ 2\\ 3\end{array}\right]$

The DataSeries/convert command was introduced in Maple 2016.
