dimnames {limma} | R Documentation

## Retrieve the Dimension Names of an RGList, MAList, EList, EListRaw or MArrayLM Object

### Description

Retrieve the dimension names of a microarray data object.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'RGList'
    dimnames(x)
    ## S3 replacement method for class 'RGList'
    dimnames(x) <- value

### Arguments

`x` | an object of class `RGList`, `MAList`, `EList`, `EListRaw` or (not for assignment) `MArrayLM`
`value` | a possible value for `dimnames(x)`: see `dimnames`

### Details

The dimension names of a microarray object are the same as those of the most important matrix component of that object.

A consequence is that `rownames` and `colnames` will work as expected.

### Value

Either `NULL` or a list of length 2. If a list, its components are either `NULL` or a character vector the length of the appropriate dimension of `x`.
