Hi all,
I have a question regarding colnames in babel source blocks.
Suppose, I have a source block (in R) that has as input a table and returns a
table. And I would like to have the resulting table with column
names, but the input table does not have column names.
How can I achieve this?
Here is an example:
The input table
#+name: intab
| bla |
| blu |
By default, the colnames are stripped off the result:
#+begin_src R :var intab=intab
colnames(intab) <- "rara"
intab
#+end_src
#+results:
| bla |
| blu |
The same happens when setting :colnames no
#+begin_src R :var intab=intab :colnames no
colnames(intab) <- "rara"
intab
#+end_src
#+results:
| bla |
| blu |
Setting :colnames yes strips the first row from the input:
#+begin_src R :var intab=intab :colnames yes
colnames(intab) <- "rara"
intab
#+end_src
#+results:
| rara |
|------|
| blu |
Finally, setting :colnames nil also strips the first row from the input:
#+begin_src R :var intab=intab :colnames nil
colnames(intab) <- "rara"
intab
#+end_src
#+results:
| rara |
|------|
| blu |
Regards,
Andreas

It almost seems like there should be two columnames options, one for
input and one for output. This would add complexity but would make use
cases like yours above feasible.
Does this sound reasonable?
Best,

Definitely. Just as Tom also suggested. I would very much welcome such
new feature.

I don't think this is possible with the current ob-r.el. I found this
problem a few months ago and have been working around it since then. I
think the solution is to patch ob-r.el so the :colnames header argument
has 4 states: none, input, output, both.
All the best,
Tom
