I'm trying to create a package for working on orientation data, i.e. data where the observations are 3D rotations. There are several different representations of orientations in common use: SO(3) matrices, Euler angles, unit quaternions, etc. One thing I'd like is to make it convenient to work in any representation, and have conversions to others done as needed. I'm trying to do

Hi, Please consider the following trivial example. In the sample code I first define a class MVCa using composition. This class contains a slot of type list. Next I define an inheritance relation using the function setIs -> MVCa "is a" list. Then I define a function printlength which prints the list-length which is defined for the type "list". If I call this function

Full_Name: Colin A. Smith Version: 1.8.0 OS: Mac OS X 10.2.6 Submission from: (NULL) (128.102.184.81) annaffy 1.0.1 (in BioC CVS) fails to load. annaffy 1.0 (on the BioC web site) has the same problem. It looks like the load is failing because of a bug in completeSubclasses() in r-devel. It calls setIs() and doesn't specify an environment via the "where" argument. setIs()

Dear all, I have a question regarding setIs and method dispatch in S4 classes: Consider the following example: ##################################################### ## A02 "contains" A01 by setIs: setClass("A01", representation(a="numeric",b="numeric")) setClass("A02", representation(a="numeric",d="numeric"))

Dear listmembers, I would like to define a class with a slot that takes either an object of class aov or NULL. I have been reading "S4 Classes in 15 pages more or less" and "Lecture: S4 classes and methods" #First I tried with list and NULL setClass(listOrNULL") setIs("list", "listOrNULL") setIs("NULL", "listOrNULL") #doesn't

I'm trying to add a namespace to my orientlib package. It makes use of S4 methods. A few questions, and a couple of suggestions: 1. Is there a way to put version dependency into the NAMESPACE file? I need to import something from stats in r-devel, but (of course) I get an error when using the same import directive in r-patched and earlier versions, because there is no stats package. 2.

(I am not sure if this is a bug or a request for a more understandable warning, or possible something obvious I should be posting on r-help.) I am trying to coerce an new class object to be a DBIConnection and it does not work the way I think it should: R version 2.5.1 (2007-06-27) ... > require("RMySQL") # or require("RSQLite") Loading required package: RMySQL Loading

I've recently updated from an early February version of 1.7.0 to Version 1.7.0 Under development (unstable) (2003-03-25) and am now having problems with errors giving the message: ' getExtends(ClassDef) : @ must be used on an object with a formal class' which seems to be caused by 'setIs("character","character or NULL")' which attempts to define

Hi the list I am fighting with the twins setAs and setIs... Here are some questions and comments (comments to myself but that migth be wrong, it is why I am posting them) 1. Very surprising : using setIs define 'is', 'as<-' but not 'as' ??? 2. Using setAs define 'as', 'as<-' but not 'is'... What surprise me is that as<- can be define by

Hello, Below is what I got running the examples from `setClass'. Could somebody please help explain why the last `setIs' call is returning the warning and whether this is expected? R> setClass("track", + representation(x="numeric", y="numeric")) [1] "track" R> setClass("trackCurve", +

On looking more closely, the purpose of finding the class definition is to update the entry for the new relationship, as the warning message suggests. That requires that the namespace holding the definition be writable. In the case of subclass information, the original namespace is very likely to be locked, if it's not the package currently being loaded. Copying the definition in order to

Some changes to the implementation of S4 classes in the methods package will be committed to the r-devel version, probably later today. They should be largely back-compatible (exception noted below) but they are fairly extensive, so this is an advance notice. The changes form the first of a two-stage change aimed at making the implementation more consistent with R semantics, in particular with

My question has two parts. The first is with regard to the frame or environment in which generic functions are defined in packages. It seems as though they are defined (i.e. exist as objects) in frame 1, even when defined in a package. The following is a short example: setClass("track",representation(x="numeric",y="numeric")) plotTrack <- function(x,y,...)

Hi, I would like to create some S4 classes as follows setClass("Father",representation(name="character")) setClass("Son1",contains="Father",representation(par="numeric")) setClass("Son2",contains="Father",representation(par="logical")) Son1<-new("Son1") Son1 at name<-"Son1" Son1 at par<-3

Hi I am seeking to understand why the methods package (to be specific `methods:::.findOrCopyClass` when called by `setIs` when called by `setClass`) emits a warning message such as ` class "SpatialLinesNULL" is defined (with package slot 'rgeos') but no metadata object found to revise subclass information---not exported? Making a copy in package 'minweSpatialNULL `

Dear Developers, In current implementation of validity method, objects are first coerced to superclass (slots are striped). Thus, it is not possible to write validity method which would perform some checks on children slots. Say, I want to check if number of slots in a class is equal to "n": setClass("A", representation(a="numeric", n="integer"),

Hello, am I using 'setIs' in the correct way in the subsequent (artifical) example? Do I have to specify explicit 'setAs' for 'list' and 'vector' or should this work automatically, since "getClass("List1")" states an explicit coerce also for these classes. I'm working with R 2.0.0 Patched (2004-10-06) on windows 2000. Thanks for your

I have encountered an issue which I have been unable to resolve, involving an S3 generic (print) being declared S4 generic in a package, and the method being exported. This all works fine - the problem occurs when I try to import the method to another package. Here is the bit that works fine. ------------- #the .r file for package bar
