\title{ Restore true labels of an object}
\description{
  The function \code{truenames} returns some elements of an object
  (\linkS4class{genind} or \linkS4class{genpop}) using true names
  (as opposed to generic labels) for individuals, markers, alleles, and
  population.\cr

  Important: as of adegenet_2.0-0, these functions are deprecated as
  true labels are used whenever possible. Please use the function
  \code{\link{tab}} instead.
}
\usage{
\S4method{truenames}{genind}(x)
\S4method{truenames}{genpop}(x)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{a \linkS4class{genind} or a \linkS4class{genpop} object}
}
\value{
  If x$pop is empty (NULL), a matrix similar to the x$tab slot but
  with true labels.
  
  If x$pop exists, a list with this matrix ($tab) and a population
  vector with true names ($pop).\cr
