R: Get names of Acoustic-Doppler Beams

beamName {oce} | R Documentation

## Get names of Acoustic-Doppler Beams

### Description

Get names of Acoustic-Doppler Beams

### Usage

    beamName(x, which)

### Arguments

`x` | an adp object.
`which` | an integer indicating beam number.

### Value

A character string containing a reasonable name for the beam, of the form `"beam 1"`, etc., for beam coordinates, `"east"`, etc. for enu coordinates, `"u"`, etc. for `"xyz"`, or `"u'"`, etc., for `"other"` coordinates. The coordinate system is determined with `x[["coordinate"]]`.
