## DelayedSetDimnames objects

### Description

NOTE: This man page is about DelayedArray internals and is provided for developers and advanced users only.

The DelayedSetDimnames class provides a formal representation of a delayed "set dimnames" operation. It is a concrete subclass of the DelayedUnaryIsoOp virtual class, which itself is a subclass of the DelayedUnaryOp virtual class, which itself is a subclass of the DelayedOp virtual class:

                              DelayedOp
                                  ^
                                  |
                           DelayedUnaryOp
                                  ^
                                  |
                          DelayedUnaryIsoOp
                                  ^
                                  |
                          DelayedSetDimnames

DelayedSetDimnames objects are used inside a DelayedArray object to represent the delayed "set dimnames" operations carried by the object. They're never exposed to the end user and are not intended to be manipulated directly.

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'DelayedSetDimnames'
    is_noop(x)

    ## S4 method for signature 'DelayedSetDimnames'
    summary(object, ...)

    ## ~ ~ ~ Seed contract ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

    ## DelayedSetDimnames objects inherit the default dim()
    ## and extract_array() methods defined for DelayedUnaryIsoOp
    ## derivatives, but overwite their dimnames() method.

    ## S4 method for signature 'DelayedSetDimnames'
    dimnames(x)

    ## ~ ~ ~ Propagation of sparsity ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

    ## DelayedSetDimnames objects inherit the default
    ## is_sparse() and extract_sparse_array() methods defined
    ## for DelayedUnaryIsoOp derivatives.

### Arguments

`x, object` | A DelayedSetDimnames object.
`...` | Not used.

### See Also

- DelayedOp objects.

- `showtree` to visualize the nodes and access the leaves in the tree of delayed operations carried by a DelayedArray object.

### Examples

    ## DelayedSetDimnames extends DelayedUnaryIsoOp, which extends
    ## DelayedUnaryOp, which extends DelayedOp:
    extends("DelayedSetDimnames")

    ## BASIC EXAMPLE
    ## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    m0 <- matrix(1:30, ncol=5, dimnames=list(letters[1:6], NULL))
    M2 <- M1 <- M0 <- DelayedArray(m0)
    showtree(M0)

    dimnames(M1) <- list(NULL, LETTERS[1:5])
    showtree(M1)
    class(M1@seed)      # a DelayedSetDimnames object

    colnames(M2) <- LETTERS[1:5]
    showtree(M2)
    class(M2@seed)      # a DelayedSetDimnames object

    ## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    ## PROPAGATION OF SPARSITY
    ## ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    ## DelayedSetDimnames objects always propagate sparsity.

    sm0 <- sparseMatrix(i=c(1, 4), j=c(1, 3), x=c(11, 43), dims=4:3)
    SM <- SM0 <- DelayedArray(sm0)
    showtree(SM0)
    is_sparse(SM0)      # TRUE

    dimnames(SM) <- list(letters[1:4], LETTERS[1:3])
    showtree(SM)
    class(SM@seed)      # a DelayedSetDimnames object
    is_sparse(SM@seed)  # TRUE
