BiocGenerics (version 0.18.0)

cbind: Combine objects by rows or columns

Description

cbind and rbind take one or more objects and combine them by columns or rows, respectively.

NOTE: This man page is for the cbind and rbind S4 generic functions defined in the BiocGenerics package. See ?base::cbind for the default methods (defined in the base package). Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for objects (typically vector-like or matrix-like) not supported by the default methods.

Usage

cbind(..., deparse.level=1)
rbind(..., deparse.level=1)

Arguments

...

One or more vector-like or matrix-like objects. These can be given as named arguments.

deparse.level

See ?base::cbind for a description of this argument.

Value

See ?base::cbind for the value returned by the default methods.Specific methods defined in Bioconductor packages will typically return an object of the same class as the input objects.
