similar to: promptClass("numeric")

I've had repeated problems with promptClass missing methods, usually telling me a class has no methods when it does. In my current case, I've defined an S4 class "mspathCoefficients" with a print method setMethod("print", signature(x="mspathCoefficients"), function(x, ...) { # etc The file promptClass creates has no methods in it. >

1. I'm putting together my first package that uses S4 classes and objects. I'd like to document them, but I'm not sure what the documentation should look like, and package.skeleton doesn't produce any at all for the classes or methods. Are there any good examples to follow? 2. How do I do the equivalent of debug(foo), when foo is an anonymous function being used as a method?

promptClass fails to identify methods associated with the class.

Hi the devel list. I am adapting the package.skeleton to S4 classes and methods I would have been very proud to post a new working function on this list. Unfortunately, I do not manage to solve all the problems. Mainly - sys.source does not compile a file with setClass - dumpMethod does not exists yet In the following code, thise two problems are notified by a line ################# Still

Hi! I have renamed some functions and deleted others. I have noticed that R CMD check complains only about newly added functions, but documented non-anymore-existing functions seem not to matter. I knew about prompt and promptMethods promptClass. They are extremely useful if you are starting to write a package. But what with existing packages that have to be rewritten? Having code and

I am another person who has had trouble documenting S4 classes and (particularly) methods. The methods package itself is pretty cool by the way, but it is a pity that there are as yet no guidelines on S4 in the "Writing R Extensions" document. I have actually put together a guide on S4 documentation myself for the use of my own lab which is at

Dear all, I am trying to write a package using formal methods and classes from the methods package. I have not been able to get the package to pass rcmd check without warnings, because rcmd check does not recognize my generic functions as code objects and therefore queries why they have documentation entries. I have isolated the problem in a very small trivial example which I give below. I

Hi the list, Using S4, how can we create a package? In "S4 Classes in 15 pages, more or less", they put all the classes definition in a function that will be called at the opening of the library and they add "by hand" a Rd file. Is it the only way ? Is there something like "S4.package.skeleton"? Thanks Christophe

Hello, promptMethods generate a macro for signatures, but the macro does not exist in the Rd parser. > setClass("track", + representation(x="numeric", y="numeric")) [1] "track" > setGeneric("foo", function(x){ standardGeneric("foo") } ) [1] "foo" > setMethod( "foo", "track",

I don't know if it is bug or not, but when I played with ices.py module I found that the body of script is executed everytime any function (like ices_get_next_song) is called. This cause that when you use sceleton (ices.py.dist) it doesn't work. I mean this line songnumber=-1 at begin of file. My python is version 1.5.2 It's a bug or normal behavior? Regards, Madr --

I've been looking at documenting S4 classes and methods, though I have a feeling many of these issues apply to S3 as well. My impression is that the documentation system requires or recommends creating basically the same information in several places. I'd like to explain that, see if I'm correct, and suggest that a more automated framework might make life easier. PROBLEM Consider a

Dear R-helpers, I have just installed R2.0.0 onto my machine which already had R1.9.1 present. I then tried to add to R2.0.0 a library called GLMM written by James McBroom for R1.6.0. Unfortunately, R2.0.0 does not recognise the library, even though R1.9.1 does. This is not because I have used the wrong case in the call to the library: > library('GLMM') > "Error in

Hi, It seems that promptMethods() was changed in revision 44805 to include a call to "isGenericFunction" that at least as of revision 44861 does not exist as far as I can tell. This results in: could not find function "isGenericFunction" when evaluating e.g. promptMethods("myGeneric") Thanks, Michael [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

The function vcov do not accept "coxph" object as input any longer. The same R-program running R1.9.1 do work. R-program attached below.

Hallo! I read SPSS data in the following way: library(Hmisc) library(foreign) dat<-spss.get("surv_abb.sav") In R1.9.1 I got the message: "Error in all(arg == choices) : Object "typeDate" not found" In R1.8.0 the same script works fine. Does anybody know a possibilty to read a SPSS file under R1.9.1? Thanks! Karl

Hello, I ran my simulations on the Unix verson of R1.9.1 and the Windows version of R2.0.1 on XP. I kept getting different values for the mean of the same column of the same matrix, and am perplexed. I would appreciate if anyone could help explain the difference? Here is a sample code: set.seed(7293) z1v <- rnorm(1000, mean=68, sd=13) z1v <- (z1v-mean(z1v))/sd(z1v) Using R1.9.1 on Unix,

Hi, I have been using R for a while. Recently, I have begun converting my package into S4 classes. I was previously using Rdoc for documentation. Now, I am looking to use the best tool for S4 documentation. It seems that the best choices for me are Roxygen and Sweave (I am fine with tex). Are there any users of Roxygen or Sweave who can comment on the strengths or weaknesses of one or othe

A new version of the package has been committed to the r-devel branch. There are a lot of changes, mostly non-visible, many of those to tighten up some possible problems. For example, slot assignment now checks the validity of the value being assigned, and basic classes cannot be overriden. There is a version of the promptClass function by Vince Carey, to produce shell of documentation for a

R Users - I asked about this a few months ago and never did quite figure it out, so with more information, allow me to try again. If I use the following code: library(xml) xmlTreeParse("http://home.comcast.net/~larsenmtl/xmlTestDoc.xml", isURL = TRUE) I receive this error: Error in xmlTreeParse("http://home.comcast.net/~larsenmtl/xmlTestDoc.xml"", : error in
