oceSetMetadata: Set Something in the metadata Slot of an oce Object
Description
Create a copy of an object in which some element of its
metadata slot has been altered, or added.
Usage
oceSetMetadata(object, name, value, note = "")
Value
An oce object, the metadata slot of which has
been altered either by adding a new item or modifying an existing
item.
Arguments
object
an oce object.
name
String indicating the name of the metadata item to be set.
value
Value for the item.
note
Either empty (the default), a character string, or NULL,
to control additions made to the processing log of the return value. If
note="" then an entry is created based on deparsing the function call.
If note is a non-empty string, then that string gets added added
to the processing log. Finally, if note=NULL, then nothing is
added to the processing log. This last form is useful in cases where
oceSetData is to be called many times in succession, resulting
in an overly verbose processing log; in which case, it might helpful
to use processingLog<- to add a summary entry to the object's
processing log.
