R devel - Aug 2004 - promptClass("numeric")

Hi!

Have written some functions with signature "numeric".

eg.
setGeneric("foo",
 function(object,...)
               standardGeneric("foo"))
setMethod("foo",signature(object="numeric"),def = ....

To generate the Rd file sceleton i use 
> promtClass("numeric")
A shell of class documentation has been written to the
file 'numeric-class.Rd'.


but the file does contains just.

\section{Methods}{
  \describe{
    \item{coerce}{\code{signature(from = "ANY", to =
"numeric")}: ... }
  }
}

Were is my method "foo"?

In case of classes defined using setClass all works.

Its not a real Problem ( I can add the method definition by hand to the Rd file)
it seems just a little inconsistent to mee.

Why do you expect it to be there? If you want documentation for method 
definitions of foo, use promptMethods("foo"); this is indicated 
in ?promptClass:

See Also:

     'prompt' for documentation of functions, 'promptMethods'
for
     documentation of method definitions.
