label: Get or Set Variable or Data Frame Labels

In summarytools: Tools to Quickly and Neatly Summarize Data

Get or Set Variable or Data Frame Labels

Description

Assigns a label to a vector or data frame, or returns value stored in the object's label attribute (or NA if none exists).

Usage

label(x, all = FALSE, fallback = FALSE, simplify = FALSE)
label(x) <- value

Arguments

x	An R object to extract labels from.
all	Logical. When x is a data frame, setting this argument to TRUE will make the function return all variable labels. By default, its value is FALSE, so that if x is a data frame, it is the data frame's label that will be returned.
fallback	a logical value indicating if labels should fallback to object name(s). Defaults to FALSE.
simplify	When x is a data frame and all = TRUE, coerce results to a vector and remove NA's. Default is FALSE.
value	String to be used as label. To clear existing labels, use NA or NULL.

Note

Loosely based on Gergely Daróczi's label function.
