Combine objects by rows or columns
rbind and cbind take one or more objects and combine them
by columns or rows, respectively.
NOTE: This man page is for the rbind and cbind
S4 generic functions defined in the BiocGenerics package.
See ?base::cbind for the default methods
(defined in the base package).
Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for objects
(typically vector-like or matrix-like) not supported by the default
methods.
rbind(..., deparse.level=1) cbind(..., deparse.level=1)
... |
One or more vector-like or matrix-like objects. These can be given as named arguments. |
deparse.level |

See ?base::cbind for the value returned by the
default methods.
Specific methods defined in Bioconductor packages will typically return an object of the same class as the input objects.
base::cbind for the default rbind and
cbind methods.
showMethods for displaying a summary of the
methods defined for a given generic function.
selectMethod for getting the definition of
a specific method.
rbind,RectangularData-method and
cbind,DataFrame-method in the S4Vectors
package for examples of specific rbind and cbind
methods (defined for RectangularData derivatives
and DataFrame objects, respectively).
