Renames a population in a genlight object

Source: R/gl.rename.pop.r

Individuals are assigned to populations based on the specimen metadata data file (csv) used with gl.read.dart().

This script renames a nominated population.

The script returns a genlight object with the new population name.

gl.rename.pop(x, old = NULL, new = NULL, verbose = NULL)

Arguments

x

old

Name of population to be changed [required].

new

New name for the population [required].

verbose

Verbosity: 0, silent or fatal errors; 1, begin and end; 2, progress log; 3, progress and results summary; 5, full report [default 2 or as specified using gl.set.verbosity].

Value

A genlight object with the new population name.
