getNames: Get dataset names

Description

Extracts dataset names of a MAgPIE-object

Usage

getNames(x,fulldim=FALSE, dim=NULL) getNames(x, dim=NULL) <- value setNames(object, nm)

Arguments

x,object

MAgPIE object

fulldim

specifies, how the object is treated. In case of FALSE, it is assumed that x is 3 dimensional and dimnames(x)[[3]] is returned. In case of TRUE, the dimnames of the real third dimension namesare returned

dim

Argument to choose a specific data dimension either by name of the dimension or by number of the data dimension.

value,nm

a vector of names current names should be replaced with. If only one data element exists you can also set the name to NULL.

Value

Details

setNames is a shortcut to use a MAgPIE object with manipulated data names. The setNames method uses the variable names "object" and "nm" in order to be consistent to the already existing function setNames.

 getSets(x,fulldim=FALSE)[3] <- "bla.blub"
 getNames(x,dim="bla")
 
 getSets(x)[4] <- "ble"
