Description

Each axis associated with the Coordinate System has a name. It isn't used in any fundamental way.

This function (short-hand name sn) allows you to set new axis names.

You can set the names either for all axes (type=unset) or for just the axes associated with a particular coordinate type.

You can recover the current axis names with function names.

Example

- cs := coordsys(spectral=T, linear=2)
- cs.setnames(value="a b c")
- cs.names()
a b c
-
- cs.setnames('lin', "flying fish")
- cs.names()
a flying fish
