label {mefa} | R Documentation |
This function assigns a label to any kind of object. The label later can be retrieved and reused.
label(x) label(x) <- value
value |
any expression. |
x |
any object. |
The label can be any expression assigned to any object. It is stored as a character attribute. Inheritance is not implemented, so by any transformation of the object into another one, the label is lost.
Print out the label value.
