R help - Feb 2003 - OO programming in R

Dear,

I'm looking for some examples on OO programming in R. I have the 
programming manual with explanation on UseMethod and NextMethod but I 
miss some practical examples to get me going (I hope). I searched the 
web but could not find  a good independent tutorial on this.

Any suggestions are welcome,

Kris

Hi Kris!
I am also looking for practical examples. I know that the bio conductor is
written using the oo method package.
But I am still looking for some simple (without database interfaces and special
file formats or sophisticated statistics) implementations using oo in R.

Me too!  Please share anything you find with the list.

You may want to look at the book "Programming with Data" by John
Chambers,
which describes the new-style classes.  It has yet to fail me.  Also the
Bioconductor packages (http://www.bioconductor.org) use the new-style
class system and provide a good source of code examples (even if you're
not interested in bioinformatics).
