Is it possible to define a method for multiple classes (that are not
simply extensions of the other) without making separate setMethod()
calls?
As far as I understand it, this is how to currently set methods for
multiple classes:
setClass("myClass1",
representation=representation(x="numeric",y="numeric"))
setClass("myClass2",
representation=representation(x="numeric",z="character"))
setGeneric("x", function(object) standardGeneric("x"))
setMethod("x", signature("myClass1"), function(object)
object at x)
setMethod("x", signature("myClass2"), function(object)
object at x)
I was wondering if it is possible to do the equivalent of:
setMethod("x",
signature(c("myClass1","myClass2")), function(object) object
at x)
Or am I always required to do two separate setMethods?
Thanks,
