similar to: Replacing slot of S4 class in method of S4 class?

Dear all, Since my package is based on S4 classes, I would like to know how to add a slot to an existing S4 class without breaking the code of users of my package. Assume the following S4 class: setClass("MyClass", representation(name = "character", type = "character", data = "data.frame" ), prototype(name =

Hi all, I'm trying to implement the matrix multiplication operator, which is S4 generic, for an old-style S3 class. The following works as expected: x <- 1:10 class(x) <- "myClass" setOldClass("myClass") setGeneric("myMethod", function(x, y) standardGeneric("myMethod")) setMethod("myMethod", c("myClass", "myClass"),

How can I "get" the rails logger from a plain class, that is a class that does not inherit from a rails class? I have tried using RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER (see below) but it''s nil class MyClass logger = RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER def myMethod logger.debug("stuff...") end end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The %*% function is a primitive. As it says in the documentation under ?Methods_Details Methods may be defined for most primitives, and corresponding metadata objects will be created to store them. Calls to the primitive still go directly to the C code, which will sometimes check for applicable methods. The definition of ?sometimes? is that methods must have been detected

Dear all, Maybe, I am doing something wrong, but using R-2.5.0 on my Intel-Mac, I have problems using function callNextMethod() in method initialize. I am loading the following code as file "testS4.R": setClass("baseClass", representation(myname = "character", mydir = "character", "VIRTUAL"),

Dear all, I am experiencing some problems with S4 method overloading. I have defined a generic for graphics:plot, using setGeneric("plot", useAsDefault = plot) and with importFrom('graphics', 'plot') and exportMethods('plot') in the NAMESPACE file of pkg A. I then proceed to define a method for signature c('myS4class', 'missing'). This works

I do lots of analyses on large microarray data sets so memory use and speed and both important issues for me. I have been trying to estimate the overheads associated with using formal S4 data objects instead of ordinary lists for large data objects. In some simple experiments (using R 1.7.1 in Windows 2000) with large but simple objects it seems that giving a data object a formal class

Hi, I started creating a small class but I'm courious about how it is working. To create a instance of my class "Partri" I write this at Rgui: x <- new("Partri", name="Gilvan") and to change the slot "name" of this instance, I write: setName(x, newname="Justino") It is not working, because when I type "x" at Rgui, it shows

Dear all, I am currently learning how to create R packages using C++ classes. For this purpose I have written a small package MyClass (which I try to attach since I do not have access to a website). MyClass has methods WriteFileC() and WriteFileCpp() which implement C-style and C++-style writing of a table to a file using FILE or ofstream respectively, and the corresponding R-functions

Hi R-helper! I have problem with setMethods for "[". Here is example : setClass("myClass", representation(ID.r = "numeric", ID.c = "character", DAT = "matrix")) to.myClass <- function(ID.r, ID.c, DAT) {     out <- new("myClass", ID.r = ID.r, ID.c = ID.c, DAT = DAT)     return(out)       }       setMethod("[",

Dear all, Recently, there was a question to use the same method for more than one class: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2007-March/044809.html I have a variation of this question: Is it possible to use the same function name, e.g. "myfunction" in both, an S4 baseClass and derivedClass. The method "myfunction" in derivedCalss should extend the functionality defined

Dear all, I have created a new S4 class with name "MyClass". Please see below for it's definition. Now I want to create a method for the show() function for this class. In defining this method, what I want is, once user would like see an object of this class some values will be displayed. Then R will ask for **press Enter**. Once user presses enter then, remaining values will be

Hi, Strange things happen. Here is a simple example: > setClass("A", contains="integer") > setMethod("as.matrix", "A", function(x, ...) t(callNextMethod())) Creating a generic function for ?as.matrix? from package ?base? in the global environment [1] "as.matrix" > a <- new("A", 1:3) > as.matrix(a)

For documentation we use a system that generates Rd files from special comments in the code. (inlinedocs). It is crucial to be able to get the defining source code for objects like methods to extract the comments from it. Here is an R session that shows how this works for several kinds of methods and (at the end of the session) how if fails for methods of "initialize" >

Hi, The following question might come from my (deep) misunderstanding of the concepts in the package 'methods'. I have a class 'A', and a class 'B' inheriting 'A' (so defined with 'setClass' and the parameter 'contains="A"'. The class A has a method 'mymethod'. A call to 'showMethods("mymethod")' return the

Hi, I ran into the following peculiarity involving S4 method dispatch and namespaces. I develop a package which have a namespace and which depends on 'pixmap' package, which itself does not have a namespace. Now, in my package I have a class which has a slot for objects from class "pixmap" and I want to have a "plot" method for this new class. Not to clutter the

Dear all Below is the code for "scriptPreFilter.R" which gives the following result: > source("scriptPreFilter.R") > prefltr <- new("PreFilter", mad=c(0.5,0.01)) [1] "------initialize:PreFilter------" [1] "------initialize:Filter------" > str(prefltr) Formal class 'PreFilter' [package ".GlobalEnv"] with 2 slots

Hi, Since upgraded to R 2.15, I have a problem with duplicate S4 class name no longer works (the reason for having duplicate S4 class names is just software forks - they are largely identical but don't have an inheritence relationship, and will never have such). This is happening with "library(mypackage2)" : Error: package slot missing from signature for generic ?[? and classes

Following my previous post on S3 method despatch, I put debug messages in the code of Axis, Axis.default and plot.default in graphics/R/axis.R and graphics/R/plot.R to print the class of x, at and y on plot. After recompiling R, what I see is that x *lost* its class attribute (at least for classes not known to 'graphics') in Axis, called directly from plot.default and this could be the

I need some help in defining a "print" method for my new S4 class definition. So fer I have worked like this: setClass("MyClass", sealed=F, representation(slot1 = "list", #create a new class slot2 = "vector", slot3 = "vector", slot4 = "vector")) setMethod("print",
