_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Retrieve the dimension names of a microarray data object.

_U_s_a_g_e:

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

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: an object of class 'RGList', 'MAList' or (not for assignment)
          'MArrayLM'

   value: a possible value for 'dimnames(x)': see 'dimnames'

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     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.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     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'.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

     Gordon Smyth

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'dimnames' in the base package.

     02.Classes gives an overview of data classes used in LIMMA.
