Dear all, I have a silly question, but I could not find an answer in the R help pages about this (I may have missed it... just send me a pointer if I did so): do I need to 'alias' an element of an object while I already manipulate an alias of it ? To be clear(er): huge <- list(image1=huge.matrix,image2=huge.matrix) ## It may look strange, but I'd like to keep these 2 matrixes associated light <- .Alias(huge) ## now I can give 'light' as a parameter to my functions fearless... ## what about light$image1 ? Is this passed, or the 'alias' nature of 'light' is somehow ## propagated ? Thanking in advance anybody considering this worth his/her time, Laurent -- Laurent Gautier CBS, Building 208, DTU PhD.
