1. promptClass generated a file that included
\section{Methods}{
No methods defined with class "mspathDistributedCalculator" in the
signature.
}
Yet there are such methods. Is this a not-working yet feature, or is
something funny going on (maybe I have definitions in the library and in
the global workspace...)?
2. Is the \code{\link{myS4class-class}} the proper way to
cross-reference a class? \code{\link{myS4method-method}} the right way
to refer to a method? I looked for something like \class or \method to
correspond to \code, but didn't see anything.
3. This question goes beyond documentation. I have been approaching
things like this:
setClass("A", ....)
foo <- function(a) ....
setClass("B", ...)
setMethod("foo", "B", ....)
so the first foo turns into the default function for the generic.
This was primarily motivated by discovering that
setMethod("foo", "A") where I have the first function
definition
produced an error.
Is this a reasonable way to proceed?
Then do I document the generic with standard function documentation for
foo? Are there some examples I could look at? When I want to refer to
the function generically, how do I do that?
I'm using R 2.2.1, and I've found the documentation on documenting S4 a
bit too brief (even after looking at the recommended links, which in
some cases don't have much on documentation). Since the docs say it's a
work in progress, I'm hoping to get the latest word here.
Thanks.
