bdWrite_hdf5_dimnames: Write dimnames to an HDF5 dataset

Description

Write row and/or column names metadata for an existing dataset in an HDF5 file. Empty vectors skip the corresponding dimnames.

Usage

bdWrite_hdf5_dimnames(filename, group, dataset, rownames, colnames)

Value

List with components. If an error occurs, all string values are returned as empty strings (""):

fn

Character string with the HDF5 filename

dsrows

Character string with the full dataset path to the row names, stored as ".dataset_dimnames/1" within the specified group

dscols

Character string with the full dataset path to the column names, stored as ".dataset_dimnames/2" within the specified group

Arguments

filename

Character string. Path to the HDF5 file.

group

Character string. Group containing the dataset.

dataset

Character string. Dataset name inside group.

rownames

Character vector of row names. Use character(0) to skip writing row names. If provided, length must equal nrow.

colnames

Character vector of column names. Use character(0) to skip writing column names. If provided, length must equal ncol.

Details

The dataset group/dataset must already exist. When non-empty, rownames and colnames lengths are validated against the dataset dimensions.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
bdWrite_hdf5_dimnames(
  filename = "test.h5",
  group = "MGCCA_IN",
  dataset = "X",
  rownames = paste0("r", seq_len(100)),
  colnames = paste0("c", seq_len(50))
)

# Skip column names:
bdWrite_hdf5_dimnames("test.h5", "MGCCA_IN", "X",
                      rownames = paste0("r", 1:100),
                      colnames = character(0))
}
