data("esophagus")
sample_names(esophagus)
# plot_tree(esophagus, color="sample_names", ladderize="left")
sample_names(esophagus) <- paste("Sa-", sample_names(esophagus), sep="")
sample_names(esophagus)
# plot_tree(esophagus, color="sample_names", ladderize="left") 
## non-characters are first coerced to characters.
sample_names(esophagus) <- 1:nsamples(esophagus)
sample_names(esophagus)
# plot_tree(esophagus, color="sample_names", ladderize="left") 
## Cannot assign non-unique or differently-lengthed name vectors. Error.
