Set Names of an Object

Similar to stats::setNames(), but with more features. You can specify names in the following ways: * a character vector (recycled if length(nms) != length(x)) * a function to be applied to names of x * via ... if not passing a function, c(nms, ...)

Usage

set_Names(x, nms = x, ...)

Arguments

x

An R object to name.

nms

The names to apply to x. If empty, names are "self" applied. Alternatively a function to be applied to the names.

...

Arguments passed to nms if a function.

Examples

set_Names(head(letters), head(LETTERS)) # apply names
#>   A   B   C   D   E   F 
#> "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" 

set_Names(head(letters))                # names self
#>   a   b   c   d   e   f 
#> "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" 

set_Names(head(letters), toupper)       # apply fn
#>   A   B   C   D   E   F 
#> "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" 

set_Names(set_Names(head(letters)), NULL)     # NULL always removes names
#> [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f"

set_Names(head(letters), "foo")               # repeat to length
#> foo foo foo foo foo foo 
#> "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" 

set_Names(head(letters), c("foo", "bar"))     # repeat to length
#> foo bar foo bar foo bar 
#> "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" 

set_Names(head(letters), "foo", "bar", "baz") # repeat to length via `...`
#> foo bar baz foo bar baz 
#> "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f"
