[R-sig-Geo] How to attach customized row.names to poly2nb()

[Xiang Ye]

Dear community,

It should be a very simple question with a straightforward answer - so please forgive my foolishness.

By default, poly2nb() provides the neighbor list of a region in terms of numbers, for example:

library(spdep)
library(spDataLarge)

poly2nb(bristol_zones) -> bqueen
bqueen[1]

The output is
[cid:157ba602-300e-4f6b-8875-ea050def287c]
which is expected.

But often the case this is not convenient. So I want to provide a vector of names to label each region, and expect when I type bqueen[1], it can return something like a list of place names.

According to the help of poly2nb(), this is implemented by row.names(). However, it does not work:
[cid:be6a526c-5629-4c17-af44-972fb84f4a04]
It looks like the output neglects the argument of row.names.
How should I solve this issue?

Thanks in advance!
