label_to_colnames: Use variable labels as column names

In sjlabelled: Labelled Data Utility Functions

Use variable labels as column names

Description

This function sets variable labels as column names, to use "labelled data" also for those functions that cannot cope with labelled data by default.

Usage

label_to_colnames(x, ...)

Arguments

x	A data frame.
...	Optional, unquoted names of variables that should be selected for further processing. Required, if x is a data frame (and no vector) and only selected variables from x should be processed. You may also use functions like : or tidyselect's select-helpers. See 'Examples'.

Value

x with variable labels as column names. For variables without variable labels, the column name is left unchanged.

Examples

data(iris)

iris <- var_labels(
  iris,
  Petal.Length = "Petal length (cm)",
  Petal.Width = "Petal width (cm)"
)

colnames(iris)
plot(iris)

colnames(label_to_colnames(iris))
plot(label_to_colnames(iris))
