R/matrixDimnamesDS.R

In dsBase: 'DataSHIELD' Server Site Base Functions

#' @title matrixDimnamesDS assign function called by ds.matrixDimnames
#' @description Adds dimnames (row names, column names or both) to
#' a matrix on the serverside.
#' @details Adds dimnames (row names, column names or both) to
#' a matrix on the serverside. Similar to the \code{dimnames} function
#' in native R. For more details see help for
#' function \code{ds.matrixDimnames}
#' @param M1.name Specifies the name of the serverside matrix to which
#' dimnames are to be added. Fully specified by <M1> argument of
#' function \code{ds.matrixDimnames}. For more details
#' see help for \code{ds.matrixDimnames}.
#' @param dimnames A dimnames attribute for the matrix: NULL or a list of
#' length 2 giving the row and column names respectively.
#' Fully specified by <dimnames> argument of
#' function \code{ds.matrixDimnames}. For more details
#' see help for \code{ds.matrixDimnames}.
#' @return Output is the serverside matrix specified by the <newobj> argument
#' (or default name diag_<x1>) with specified dimnames (row and column
#' names) which is written to the serverside.
