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

getNames returns data names of the MAgPIE-object, whereas setNames returns the MAgPIE object with the manipulated data names.

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.

 a <- as.magpie(1)
 getNames(a)
 setNames(a,"bla")
 
 x <- new.magpie("GLO",2000,c("a.o1","b.o1","a.o2"))
 getNames(x,dim=2)
 
 getSets(x,fulldim=FALSE)[3] <- "bla.blub"
 getNames(x,dim="bla")
 
 getSets(x)[4] <- "ble"
 getNames(x,dim="ble") <- c("Hi","Bye")
