Rename a raster or vector in an existing GRASS session

Rename a raster or vector in an existing GRASS session.

Usage

.rename(from, to, rastOrVect = NULL)

Arguments

from, to

sources of the raster or vector to rename.

rastOrVect

Either NULL (default), "raster", or "vector". This specifies the type of object to be renamed. Partial matching is allowed. If left as NULL (default), the function will try to identify if the object is a raster or vector, and return an error if there is both a raster and vector of given name. Note that unlike in R, GRASS can have rasters and vector"s with the same name.

Value

The function invisibly returns TRUE if the desired rasters and/or vectors were named, and FALSE if raster and/or vector to be renamed did not exist in the GRASS session. Notably, a raster or vector or both are renamed in an existing GRASS session.
