similar to: Function "nsl()" missing in package utils

Dear List, I’m doing my first baby steps towards developing own R Packages and ran into the following problem: R CMD check mypackage works fine (no errors, no warnings) R CMD build mypackage works fine (no errors, no warnings) R CMD INSTALL –library=”C:\R\R-2.11.1\library” “something\mypackage\mypackage_1.0.tar.gz” works fine (no errors, no warnings) However, when I try loading the

Dear List, I am not really familiar with any other language than R, but I?ve heard that in other languages there is something called ?self referencing?. Here?s what I?m trying to get an answer for: Suppose there is a function that takes as its input a value of a slot of an S4 object. The function itself is stored in another slot of the SAME S4 object. Is it then possible to have the function

Dear list, I was wondering if you could help me out in clarifying something: Is it possible to use class "ANY" in slots/fields of formal classes if you a) do not want to restrict valid classes of that field and b) if you are making explicit use of class inheritance? It seems to work in simple scenarios but produces errors when class inheritance comes into play. So I was

Dear list, I hope this is the right place to post a feature request. If there's exists a more formal channel (e.g. as for bug reports), I'd appreciate a pointer. I work a lot with named nested lists with arbitrary degrees of "nestedness". In order to retrieve the names and/or values of "bottom layer/bottom tier", I love the functionality of 'unlist()', or

Dear list, I came up with a two functions that flatten arbitrary deeply nested lists (as long as they're named; not tested for unnamed) and environments (see attachment; 'flatten_examples.txt' contains some examples). The paradigm is somewhat similar to that implemented in 'unlist()', yet extends it. I would have very much liked to build upon the superfast functionality

Dear List, when I first started to use S4 classes, I used the function 'completeClassDef()' in order to see the super- and subclasses of a certain class: setClass(Class="A", representation=list(a="numeric")) setClass(Class="B", contains="A", representation=list(b="character")) # Super x <- completeClassDefinition("B")

Dear list, I wonder how to write methods for the function 'as' in the sense that I can call 'as(object, Class, strict=TRUE, ext)' and let method dispatch figure out the correct method. AFAIU, there is a difference between, e.g. 'as.data.frame' and the methods of 'as()' as stated above since the former depends on arg 'x' instead of 'object',

Thank you. The line of code you give certainly resolves several of the issues. I didn't realize that font support is such a tough matter to realize.

Well, the benefit lies in the ability to pass along arguments via `...` to more than one recipient that use *identical argument names* and/or when these recipients are not necessarily located on the same calling stack layer. I'm *not* after a *general* change in the way arguments are dispatched/functions are called as I'm actually a big friend of keepings things quite explicit (thus

Thanks a lot for answering. Before I get into it, please note that everything below bears the big capture "Thanks for trying to help me at all". 1) Yeah, those examples - quite hard to satisfy everyone's needs ;-) While the one side complained that my past examples regarding this issue were not informative enough, others didn't like the more elaborated version (as seems to be

Hi Gabriel, and thanks for answering. I'm basically just trying to find a way to use the power of `...` in more complex scenarios and I'm well aware that this might not be the best approach ;-) Regarding your actual question: "Are you suggesting methods be dispatched based on the *contents* of ... [...]?" Yes, I guess currently I kind of do - but not on the argument *names*

Dear list, somehow I can't get the Roxygen tag "@example" to work for me. My "Roxygen-Header" of a script containing, say, a function looks like this: #' My header #' #' My description #' #' @param a Blabla. #' @param b Blabla. #' @return \code{TRUE}. #' @callGraphPrimitives #' @references #'

Dear list, is there a way to declare public and private methods in S4 Reference Classes? If not, are there plans to add such a feature?

Dear list, a while ago I posted this at r-devel but got no answers. Hope it?s okay to give it a shot again by cross-posting it here.

Dear list, I'm sorry to keep coming back with this time and time again, but this bug is still not fixed even though the root cause of the issue has been around for 2-3 years now. And as the number of packages that depend on XML grows, I thought maybe this deserves some wider attention. I did my best to make reproduction of the issue as easy as possible:

Dear list, I've got the following problem: In a package I'm trying to build, there exists a method for the function "as.ts()". When checking the package, R always throws the error that it cannot find a function called "as.ts". To me it seems that the package "stats" (home of "as.ts()") is not loaded during the checking process even though

Dear List, I would like to include a couple of objects in a package I am developing and I don't really get it yet. The objects should be available after package load as some functions depend on it. I tried the following: 1) Bundling all objects that I need in the file '/R/sysdata.rda' as described in the "Writing R Extensions" manual on page 7 2)

Dear List, I'm currently investigating if the argument dispatch mechanism based on `...` could somehow be "generalized" to scenarios that involve `r` recipients located across `c` calling stack layers *and* combined with the S4 method mechanism (for those interested see
