Hi, I'm trying to convert a package of mine to S4 classes and am stumbling when trying to correctly document some overriden methods. I have written methods that allow one to use 'length', and various logical operators (|, &, etc) on my objects. For example the code for my length method is: setMethod('length', "fingerprint", function(x) { x at length }) and the Rd file for this method is \name{length} \usage{ length(x) } \alias{length} \alias{length,fingerprint-method} \title{ Fingerprint Bit Length } \description{ Returns the length of the fingerprint. That is, this is the length of the entire bit string and not simply the number of bits that are on. } \arguments{ \item{x}{ An object of class \code{fingerprint} } } \value{ The length of the bit string } \keyword{logic} \keyword{methods} \author{Rajarshi Guha \email{rguha at indiana.edu}} However, when I do R CMD check on the package I get the following error: Functions/methods with usage in documentation object 'length' but not in code: length I have also implemented the 'as.character' method for my objects and I get a similar error for it as well. I tried building and installing the package to see if/how it might fail. However when I did ?length, a popup came up asking me to choose which length manpage to use, so it appears to work. I just can't figure out what the problem is in the code (since the documentation appears to be OK) Any pointers would be appreciated.
