unname                 package:base                 R Documentation

Remove `names' or `dimnames'

Description:

     Remove the `names' or `dimnames' attribute of an R object.

Usage:

     unname(obj, force = FALSE)

Arguments:

     obj: the R object which is wanted ``nameless''.

   force: logical; if true, the `dimnames' are even removed from
          `data.frame's. This argument is currently experimental and
          hence might change!

Value:

     Object as `obj' but without `names' or `dimnames'.

Examples:

     ## Answering a question on R-help (14 Oct 1999):
     col3 <- 750+ 100* rt(1500, df = 3)
     breaks <- factor(cut(col3,breaks=360+5*(0:155)))
     str(table(breaks)) # The names are quite larger than the data ...
     barplot(unname(table(breaks)), axes= FALSE)
