def to_frame(self, index=True, name=None):
        """
        Create a DataFrame with a column containing the Index.

        .. versionadded:: 0.24.0

        Parameters
        ----------
        index : boolean, default True
            Set the index of the returned DataFrame as the original Index.

        name : object, default None
            The passed name should substitute for the index name (if it has
            one).

        Returns
        -------
        DataFrame
            DataFrame containing the original Index data.

        See Also
        --------
        Index.to_series : Convert an Index to a Series.
        Series.to_frame : Convert Series to DataFrame.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> idx = pd.Index(['Ant', 'Bear', 'Cow'], name='animal')
        >>> idx.to_frame()
               animal
        animal
        Ant       Ant
        Bear     Bear
        Cow       Cow

        By default, the original Index is reused. To enforce a new Index:

        >>> idx.to_frame(index=False)
            animal
        0   Ant
        1  Bear
        2   Cow

        To override the name of the resulting column, specify `name`:

        >>> idx.to_frame(index=False, name='zoo')
            zoo
        0   Ant
        1  Bear
        2   Cow
