label: Assign Label to an Object and Return It
In mefa: Multivariate Data Handling in Ecology and Biogeography

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples

This function assigns a label to any kind of object. The label later can be retrieved and reused.

1 2	label(x) label(x) <- value

`value`	any expression.
`x`	any object.

The label can be any expression assigned to any object. It is stored as a character attribute. Inheritance is not implemented, so by any transformation of the object into another one, the label is lost.

Print out the label value.
