Examples

data("esophagus")
taxa_names(esophagus)
# plot_tree(esophagus, label.tips="taxa_names", ladderize="left")
taxa_names(esophagus) <- paste("OTU-", taxa_names(esophagus), sep="")
taxa_names(esophagus)
# plot_tree(esophagus, label.tips="taxa_names", ladderize="left")
## non-characters are first coerced to characters.
taxa_names(esophagus) <- 1:ntaxa(esophagus)
taxa_names(esophagus)
# plot_tree(esophagus, label.tips="taxa_names", ladderize="left")
## Cannot assign non-unique or differently-lengthed name vectors. Error.
# taxa_names(esophagus) <- sample(c(TRUE, FALSE), ntaxa(esophagus), TRUE)
# taxa_names(esophagus) <- sample(taxa_names(esophagus), ntaxa(esophagus)-5, FALSE)
