similar to: S4 classes and methods with optional arguments

Hello, the last command (isGeneric) in following R-code (attached) produces different output, depending on wheter 1.8.0 alpha or 1.7.1 is used. Is that to be expected ? Both R Versions were started with option vanilla --------------------------------------------------- R.1.7.1: --------------------------------------------------- > version _ platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686

Hi r-devels, I am stuck in some S4 inheritance problem: setClass("A",representation(a="numeric")) setClass("A1",representation(b="numeric"),contains="A") setClass("A2",representation(c="numeric"),contains="A1") if(!isGeneric("foo")){ setGeneric("foo", function(x,y,z, ...)

I'm translating some Matlab code and need some help figuring out how to change this call into an S4 generic method. In matlab, there's a function called 'repmat' with three calling sequences (all I have to deal with anyway): 1) B = repmat(A, m, n) 2) B = repmat(A, [m n]) 3) B = repmat(A, n) In all cases, A is the fill value, m is number of rows, and n is number of

Hello, If the signature of a method defines which generic it implements then I'm confused about why this minimal example I invented won't work : setGeneric("myFun", function(rs, ...){standardGeneric("myFun")}) setGeneric("myFun", function(cs, ...){standardGeneric("myFun")}) setMethod("myFun", "numeric", function(rs, colour =

Hi, OK, if you try to explicitly make them generic, you are told that they are implicitly already generic: > setGeneric("is.finite", function(from, ...) standardGeneric("is.finite")) Error in setGeneric("is.finite", function(from, ...) standardGeneric("is.finite")) : "is.finite" is a primitive function; methods can be defined, but the

Hi the list I am creating a package and I have a problem to define a S4 method for plot. I define a class 'A' and a class 'B'. I want to define a function plot for signature c(A,missing) and another method plot for signature c(A,B). My code is the following : In /package/R/ directory: --- main.R --- setGeneric("plot",function(x,y,...){standardGeneric("plot")})

Interrogating some (of my own) code in another package. >norm.meth <- getMethod("normalize", "MatrixLike") >message("str(norm.meth)") >str(norm.meth) >message("show(norm.meth at .Data)") >show(norm.meth at .Data) Last show() displays this: function (object, ...) { .local <- function (object, method = c("median",

Hi, I found the following on Windows 2000/NT R Version 1.9.1 (2004-06-21) (also Version 1.9.0): The S4 group "Math" doesn't work as documented; i.e., "log", "log10", "gamma" and "lgamma" are included in the documentation but don't work. See example code below. Moreover, what about 'genericForPrimitive' which is used in

I have trouble finding applicable examples of S4 methods. Could someone tell me the canonical method for a function that takes either one or two arguments corresponding to dimensions? So if vector output desired, only one argument 'n' would be provided. For matrix, two would be provided corresponding to 'm' and 'n' in that order. And therein lies the rub as I don't

Hi, after updating R 2.5.0 devel yesterday we today observed many new unexpected failures in our daily package build and test system runs, which can be traced to recent changes in the implementation in try() (as noted in NEWS). Investigating this new implementation I come across an issue in conjuntion with using S4 classes and methods. try(expr) does not return an object with attribute

Late to the show on this release, unfortunately. One of our production packages no longer builds under R-2.15.0 with the following message. ** testing if installed package can be loaded Error: Function found when exporting methods from the namespace 'SuperCurve' which is not S4 generic: 'image' Possibly relevant clues follow: ## From R/AllGenerics.R if

Hi I have some problems in defining new generic functions and classes. Just have a look at the following example: require(fPortfolio) setClass("PROBECLASS", representation( type="character" ) ) isGeneric("setType<-") #Returns TRUE #I would like to define a specific function for

Hi I have some problems in defining new generic functions and classes. Just have a look at the following example: require(fPortfolio) setClass("PROBECLASS", representation( type="character" ) ) isGeneric("setType<-") #Returns TRUE #I would like to define a specific function for

I'm in the process of converting some S3 methods to S4 methods. I have this function : setGeneric("enrichmentCalc", function(rs, organism, seqLen, ...){standardGeneric("enrichmentCalc")}) setMethod("enrichmentCalc", c("GenomeDataList", "BSgenome"), function(rs, organism, seqLen, ...) { ... ... ... })

I'm attempting to reflect the information for use with corresponding fields in GUI (in a different package), to provide default values, argname as key for UI label lookups, etc. So I want something much more like the formals of the implementation: { "object", "method": c("median", "vs", "tukey"),

Hi, I'm doing a k-means cluster with 6 clusters and 15 variables. Any suggestions on how to plot the results? I've tried the standard xy plot, but couldn't get much of it. Thansk in advance, Iuri.

hi. below is a small test case (hopefully minimal, though i'm still a bit confused about initializers). i would have guessed (and maybe i still would have been right) that one could re-use the name of a generic function for functions with different numbers of arguments. in the case below, class A's bB() queries the status of a single A object, so bB(A) (where here "A" is an

Hi the list When two setGeneric occurs on the same function, the second erage the first and erase all the function previously define. Is it possible to prevent that ? Is it possible to declare a setGeneric that can not be erased later ? Something like the |sealed for setMethod...| || |Thanks| || Christophe

i believe the following is true but would appreciate confirmation that it is intended behavior and will continue: if a default argument is employed in the definition of a generic function, and the generic is called with the argument in question (call it 'ARG') missing, then the method for signature (..., ARG = "missing", ...) will be called by 'standardGeneric'

Hi I want to create a new generic method, but I end up with an error (evaluation nested too deeply). see the transcript below. The function beginYear.Fun() works, but not beginYear. I have no idea why. Any ideas welcome, Rainer > setClass("fun", representation(x = "numeric")) [1] "fun" > new("fun") An object of class ?fun? Slot "x":
