Using alias in R Custom Visuals

Hi

 

I'm learning how to create custom visuals using r. I'm wondering how I can get the renamed name or alias of the measure/column. Currently I'm only getting the original name.

 

I'm using this code in R:

 

columnNames = colnames(Measures)

 

FYI my data role is: 

 

"dataRoles": [
    {
      "displayName""Measures",
      "kind""Measure",
      "name""Measures"
    }
]
