R help - Jun 2012 - How to see the implementation of print function for a class from a package?

Dear R-helpers,
I want to see the code used when printing (using print(object) or by just
typing the object name) for a class from a package.
I can see the summary code using packagename::summary.classname but nothing
for print method and also plot methods.

In general, how can I see the COMPLETE code for a package? not just the
function defs?

I presume your problem is that you are looking for non-exported
methods in some unstated package.

Generally the pattern is something like this

methods(plot) # shows all plot.* methods

methods(class = "lm") # shows all *.lm methods

Those marked with a star are not exported but you can get at them with
the getAnywhere() function [you can also use three colons instead of
two, but that requires you to know the function at hand]

Incidentally, you might also want to download the package source from
CRAN and browse it to see the author's commented code.
