Set the Names in an Object
This is a convenience function that sets the names of an object and returns it including the new names. It is most useful at the end of a function definition where one is creating the object to be returned and would prefer not to store it under a name just that the names can be assigned. In addition to the function setNames in base R the user can decide, whether rownames, colnames or simply the names are to be set. Names are recyled.
SetNames(x, ...)
x |
an object for which a names attribute will be meaningful |
... |
the names to be assigned to the object. This should be a character vector of names named |
An object of the same sort as object with the new names assigned.

SetNames(1:5, names=letters[1:5])
# the default, if no argument names are provided, is "names"
SetNames(1:5, letters[1:5])
tab <- table(d.pizza$driver, d.pizza$wine_delivered)
# rownames and columnnames can be set at the same time
SetNames(BinomCI(tab[,1], rowSums(tab)),
rownames=rownames(tab), colnames=c("perc", "lci", "uci"))
# can also be used to set the names to an empty string
SetNames(diag(6), rownames="", colnames="")
# setting dimnames works as well
tab <- SetNames(
