similar to: S4: Bug in group method defenition ("Compare")

I have classes A and B, where B contains A. In the implementation of the group generic for B I would like to use the corresponding group generic for A. Is there a way to do that? I would also appreciate any comments if what I'm trying to do seems like the wrong approach. Here's a stripped down example: setClass("A",

Hi all, After all these years, I am finally porting some R-2.3.1-based S4 object code to R-2.6.1, dealing with all the S4 object system changes that came in R-2.4.0. I've run across what appears to be some sort of ommission in the implementation of callNextMethod() when used with primitives having group generic methods. In a stock R-2.6.1 patched (happens to be running on AMD64/RHEL 4, but

Dear Developers, In current implementation of validity method, objects are first coerced to superclass (slots are striped). Thus, it is not possible to write validity method which would perform some checks on children slots. Say, I want to check if number of slots in a class is equal to "n": setClass("A", representation(a="numeric", n="integer"),

I recently encountered this and was wondering if someone could explain what happened. Basis of question involves what the difference between the calls makes as the end result is the same: > identical(matrix(1:8, nrow = 1), array(1:8, c(1, 8))) TRUE If I run the code below as shown, I get the following: > foo(1:8, 4) foo (vector, numeric) val = 4 foo (matrix, ANY) val = 500 foo

I get an error when using self-defined (not standard) functions with mapply with S4 objects from the raster package that I develop: "Error in as.character(sys.call(sys.parent())[[1]]) : cannot coerce type 'closure' to vector of type 'character'". Does anyone understand why? The problem is illustrated below. Thanks, Robert > # First a general example that works

I think this is a known issue with Java messing with the stack, see e.g. http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Error-memory-exhausted-limit-reached-td4729708.html. I'll fix the infinite recursion caused by the methods package.

Hi, First a bit of disclaimer... I haven't isolated this problem into an easy to reproduce case, and I won't be surprised if the root cause is a fault in my code's use of name spaces or some such. The error I'm seeing is one in which the desired method is not found. What worries me in terms of my expectations of how to debug the problem is that showMethods and selectMethod both

Dear all, This problem came up initially while debugging a function, but it seems to be a more general problem of R. I hope I'm wrong, but I can't find another explanation. Let me illustrate with the raster package. For an object "RasterLayer" (which inherits from Raster), there is a method xyValues defined with the signature

Dear all, I am experiencing some problems with S4 method overloading. I have defined a generic for graphics:plot, using setGeneric("plot", useAsDefault = plot) and with importFrom('graphics', 'plot') and exportMethods('plot') in the NAMESPACE file of pkg A. I then proceed to define a method for signature c('myS4class', 'missing'). This works

Hello, When I was poking arround my llvm code, I realised that given a Type there isn't a seperate container for the type operator functions. Am I correct? If so, wouldn't it make more sence to provide a container to put the objects operator function in to reduce the overhead of going through each non operator function to find the operator function defined for it?? The reason for this

Dear List, Is it possible to build a package with 'names' method for a S4-Class? The following works if directly pasted into R: (a simple test class with 1 attribute that is returned by invoking 'names') #class definition setClass("test", representation = representation(name = "character"), prototype = prototype(name =

Dear Hilmar Perhaps this gives an indication of why the infinite recursion happens: ## after calling `*` on ma and a matrix: > showMethods(classes=class(ma), includeDefs=TRUE, inherited = TRUE) Function: * (package base) e1="FOOCLASS", e2="matrix" (inherited from: e1="vector", e2="structure") (definition from function "Ops")

Hi, I found the following on Windows 2000/NT R Version 1.9.1 (2004-06-21) (also Version 1.9.0): The S4 group "Math" doesn't work as documented; i.e., "log", "log10", "gamma" and "lgamma" are included in the documentation but don't work. See example code below. Moreover, what about 'genericForPrimitive' which is used in

The Complex group generic for S4 methods is not working: > setClass('foo', representation(z='complex')) [1] "foo" > setMethod('Complex', 'foo', function(z) callGeneric(z@z)) [1] "Complex" > Arg(new('foo', z=1+0i)) Error in Arg(new("foo", z = 1 + (0+0i))) : non-numeric argument to function > The fix is

I have some code where the primary dispatching is on other parameters so I'd like not to have to create a set of functions for "matrix" and another duplicate set for "array". But the class union technique isn't working as implemented below and I don't have my Green book with me. How do I fix my infinite recursion problem?

Is it possible for S4 to (continue) dispatch to a class created during dispatching? The code below doesn't work; is this not possible or have I ommitted something? Concept was to create a SEXP with R_AllocatePtr, give it a class attribute, and continue dispatch. Example code below omits multiple parameters that can be different types. Essentially, any parameter would be converted to an

Folks: This is a question about the S4 formal class system. Suppose I have a class, 'foo', defined by: setClass('foo',representation(dat='matrix', id='character') ) I wish to define a '[' method for foo that will extract from the 'dat' slot. I would have thought that the following would work, but it doesn't:

Hi, I ran into the following peculiarity involving S4 method dispatch and namespaces. I develop a package which have a namespace and which depends on 'pixmap' package, which itself does not have a namespace. Now, in my package I have a class which has a slot for objects from class "pixmap" and I want to have a "plot" method for this new class. Not to clutter the

Hello everyone, I am trying to implement completion for proto objects. Proto extends environment in a hierarchical way. Thus completion should list all the names in all it's parent environments. For "normal" classes defining names.class would do the job, but completion for "environment" is hard coded in utils:::specialCompletions by means of base::ls(). As result
