| rbind.fill.matrix {plyr} | R Documentation |
The matrices are bound together using their column names or the column
indices (in that order of precedence.) Numeric columns may be converted to
character beforehand, e.g. using format. If a matrix doesn't have
colnames, the column number is used. Note that this means that a
column with name "1" is merged with the first column of a matrix
without name and so on. The returned matrix will always have column names.

the matrices to rbind. The first argument can be a list of matrices, in which case all other arguments are ignored. |
Vectors are converted to 1-column matrices.
Matrices of factors are not supported. (They are anyways quite inconvenient.) You may convert them first to either numeric or character matrices. If a matrices of different types are merged, then normal covnersion precendence will apply.
Row names are ignored.
