Make unique text labels

Description

Given a requisite number, generates that many unique text labels.

Usage

make_labels(N)

Arguments

N

The number of labels required,

Details

Where a list of unique text labels are required (i.e., where simple numbering will not suffice) it can be useful to have a simple function that generates the required amount.

In practice, this is simple in R when N is 26 or less as the LETTERS object can be used for this purpose. For example, to get ten unique labels:

LETTERS[1:10]

This function works in a similar way but will add a second, third etc. letter where the value of N requires it.

Value

A character vector of N unique labels.
