dim(x)
dim(x) <- valueNULL or
a numeric vector, which is coerced to integer (by truncation).dim retrieves
the dim attribute of the object. It is NULL or a vector
of mode integer. The replacement method changes the "dim" attribute (provided the
new value is compatible) and removes any "dimnames" and
"names" attributes.dim and dim<- are internal generic
primitive functions. dim has a method for data.frames, which returns
the lengths of the row.names attribute of x and
of x (as the numbers of rows and columns respectively).ncol, nrow and dimnames.x <- 1:12 ; dim(x) <- c(3,4)
x
# simple versions of nrow and ncol could be defined as follows
nrow0 <- function(x) dim(x)[1]
ncol0 <- function(x) dim(x)[2]
