similar to: Standard method for S4 object

Hi the list, I am defining a new class MyClass. Shortly, I will submit a package with it. Before, I would like to know if there is a kind of "non official list" of what method a new S4 object have. More precisely, personnaly, I use 'print', 'summary' and 'plot' a lot. So for my new class, I define these 3 methods. Is there some other method that a R user can

To test two environments for object equality (Lisp EQ), I can use 'identity': > e1 <- environment(local(function()x)) > e2 <- environment(local(function()x)) > identical(e1,e2) # compares object identity [1] FALSE > identical(as.list(e1),as.list(e2)) # compares values as name->value mapping [1] TRUE # (is there a

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

Hi the list, I define a method that want to change an object without assignation (foo(x) and not x<-foo(x)) using deparse and assign. But when the argument of the method does not match *exactly* with the definition of the generic function, assign does not work... Anything wrong? Christophe #------ Does not work ------#

Hi the list, I almost finished the green book (chapter 7 and 8 on S4), this is probably one of my last question :-) I hope you will not miss them to much ! Here is my today nighmare: I do not manage to use dumpMethod : setClass("A",representation(a="numeric")) setMethod("plot","A",function(x,y,...){cat("AAAAA\n")})

Hi the list, Is it possible to get the list of all the S4 user define classes? I would like to set up a "package.skeleton.S4" but for that, I need the list of the classes... Thanks Christophe

Hi all Two questions: - I would like to learn more on oriented object programming with R. Is there any tutorial for that? - Without waking up a troll, I am not very familiar with diffusion list, I am more use to forum. On a diffusion list, how can I check if someone already asks a question? I mean, I went on CRAN-R website, I find the R mailing list archive. But is there a way to search

Hi the list, I am a member of the organizing comity of the French Statistics Association (SFdS)'s conference. We are looking for sponsors. Some software (SAS, RITME, ...) are represented. Do you know if there is any possibility to be sponsored by R (or by an association close to R)? Do you think I can ask to the R fondation? Sincerely Christophe -- Christophe Genolini Maître de

Hi all, In my package, I define some constant. In the previous version of R, I just define then in "/data/constants.R" but it seems that it is no longer possible. Instead, I am asked to "define them in the namespace". I am not sure to understand what it means. Shall I define them in the NAMESPACE file? Christophe

Hi the list Is it possible to create an empty matrix ? I do not mean an matrix with a single value that is NA (which is not empty) but a real empty one, with length=0. I do not understand why we have length(numeric()), length(factor()) and length(character()) to zero, and length(array()) to one... Any rason for that ? Thanks Christophe

Hi all, In the package rtlu, I use the function savePlot. It is convenient since it let the user decide in which graphic format he wants his graph to be export. But when I run R CMD check, I get the following message : > rtlu(V1,fileOutput="First.tex",textBefore="\\section{Variable 1 to 3}",graphName="V1") Error in savePlot(filename = nomBarplot, type = type)

Hi all, Working with S4 object, I definine two class foo1 and foo2. I define '[' (resp. '[<-') for the two classes. Then I define a third class foo3 that inherit from both foo1 and foo2. Is there a way to make '[' (resp. '[<-') for foo3 inherit from '[' (resp. '[<-') for foo1 and foo2? Thanks Christophe

Hi the list, With basic type, length gives the length of the vector Wtih list, length gives the number of item With S4 object, length gives...one. Even with an objet with empty slot. setClass("E",representation(e="numeric")) [1] "E" length(new("E")) [1] 1 setClass("E",representation(e="matrix")) [1] "E"

Hi all, I am using savePlot in a loop for saving several graph but I get some graph in 553x552, some other in 1920x1119. How comes ? My data are almost all the same (same label, same xlim / ylim, almost same data. Only the color changes). I save them in bmp. Thanks for your help. Christophe

Hi the list, One of my package has a memory issue that I do not manage to understand. The Memtest notes is here: <http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/memtests/valgrind/kml-Ex.Rout> Here is the message that I get from Memtest --- 8< ---------------- ~ Fast KmL ~ ==27283== Invalid read of size 4 ==27283== at 0x10C5DF28: kml1 (kml.c:183) ... ==27283== by 0x10C5DE4F: kml1 (kml.c:151)

Hi all Is there any compiler for R ? By compiler, I mean something that check the cleanliness of the code : if we declare all the variables we use, if we don't use external variable from a function and so on... For exemple, something that will ring a bell on the following code (saying "line 4 : 'pp' undefine in function 'power' ") 1. pp <- 3 2. power <-

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

Hi the list, I build a package. They was a mistake in it, but R CMD check did not find it. Is that normal ? Here is what Kurt gets (which is right, I did this mistake): --- 8< ---------------- * checking for code/documentation mismatches ... WARNING S4 class codoc mismatches from documentation object 'LongData-class': Slots for class 'LongData' Code: id other time traj

Hi the list Is there a way to know how many times an R package (on CRAN) has been download ? Christophe
