makeNames: Make syntactically valid names

In acidgenomics/r-syntactic: Syntactically Valid Names

Make syntactically valid names

Description

For atomic vectors, these functions will sanitize the values. Otherwise, they will set names(), rownames(), and/or colnames() without modification of the values.

Usage

makeNames(object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'character'
makeNames(object, unique = TRUE, smart = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'factor'
makeNames(object, unique = TRUE, smart = FALSE)

Arguments

object	Object.
unique	logical(1). If TRUE, the resulting elements are unique. Recommended by default, for syntactically valid names (e.g. column, row names). Note that this is disabled by default for make.names().
smart	logical(1). Handle complicated special cases, such as mixed case acronyms, plus/minus, percentages, etc.
...	Additional arguments.

Details

Sanitizes names using underscores instead of dots, the convention used by make.names().

Value

Modified object.
