similar to: Defining an alias for a generic function and callNextMethod() strange behaviour

Hello, I experienced a strange behaviour of callNextMethod when used in either initialize or any other S4 function method definition. Help says callNextMethod calls the next inherited method for the current function from where it is called with the same actual (non missing) arguments. This is OK. The problem appears when some formal arguments (in particular, S4 objects) of this function are

Hi all, After all these years, I am finally porting some R-2.3.1-based S4 object code to R-2.6.1, dealing with all the S4 object system changes that came in R-2.4.0. I've run across what appears to be some sort of ommission in the implementation of callNextMethod() when used with primitives having group generic methods. In a stock R-2.6.1 patched (happens to be running on AMD64/RHEL 4, but

Hi, there seems to be a possible bug in callNextMethod in conjunction with the [-operator. Relevant info, minimal example and sessionInfo follow below: ############################### setClass("foo", representation = representation(a = "numeric")) setClass("bar", contains = "foo") setMethod( f = "[", signature =

Hi, I don't understand why this code doesn't work (f(b2)): ///////////////// setClass("B0", representation(b0 = "numeric")) setClass("B1", representation("B0", b1 = "character")) setClass("B2", representation("B1", b2 = "logical")) f <- function(x) class(x) setMethod("f", "B0",

I have a class that extends array and my method for "[" stops with an error: > setClass("A", contains="array") [1] "A" > setMethod("[", "A", function(x, i, j, ..., drop = TRUE) new("A", callNextMethod())) [1] "[" > a<-new("A",array(1:12,c(4,3,1))) > a An object of class "A" , , 1

Hi, Given a simple three class hierarchy: A <-- B <-- C I want to define an initialize method for each class such that when I call new("C", x=5), the initialize methods for A and B are used to incrementally build the object. When I do what seems obvious to me using callNextMethod, I get an infinite recursion. An example follows... setClass("A",

I don't understand why I get the following results. I define two classes 'Base' and 'Derived', the latter of which 'contains' the first. I then define a generic method 'test' and overload it for each of these classes. I call 'callNextMethod()' in the overload for Derived. From the output, it appears that the overload for Base gets called twice. Why is

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)

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"),

Hello R-List, ** This e-mail was initially bounced. Please forgive any duplicates.** I'm creating a new generic function and 3 associated methods, in which each of the methods only needs a subset of the arguments specified in the generic. So, I create the generic like so (with the signature defaulting to all of the args) ... setGeneric( name="myFunction", def =

I feel tedious when I define a S4 class and the methods. For each method, I have to call both setMethod and setGeneric (or both setReplaceMethod and setGeneric). I would like a more compact grammar so that I can reduce the key strokes. I'm wondering if there is a better way available. setClass( Class='A', representation=representation( x='numeric' )

Dear UseRs, Does anyone know when exactly the validity is checked in S4? Documentation is silent:(. Here is a small example: setClass("test1",representation(a="numeric")) setMethod("initialize","test1", function(.Object,...){ a<-runif(1) ## here slot "a" is initialized ## callNextMethod(.Object,a=a,...)

Hi all, It seems that there is a use case for obtaining the environment for the "top" promise. By "top", I mean following the promise chain up the call stack until hitting a non-promise. S4 data containers often mimic the API of base R data structures. This means writing S4 methods for functions that quote their arguments, like with() and subset(). The methods package

Dear UseRs, A simple class inheritance example: > setClass("test",representation(a="numeric")) > setMethod("initialize","test", function(.Object,x,...){ print("Initialization!!!") callNextMethod(.Object,a=x,...) }) > new("test",x=23) [1] "Initialization!!!" An

I have built a sequence of eight S4 classes, each of which inherits from the previous one but adds extra slots. I have a corresponding generic function for which I have described methods for each of these classes in a signature with one other variable. There are also some ad hoc variable outside the signature which have different default values for each class. Each method calls

Hi the list, I try to use callNextMethod in a setteur ([<-) but it does not work. Any raison ? Any other option ? --- 8< ------------------ ### Class B0 ### setClass("B0" , representation(b0 = "numeric")) setReplaceMethod("[","B0",function(x,i,j,value){x at b0 <- -value}) a <- new("B0") a at b0 <- 3 a a["b0"] <- 3 a

Hi R-Help, Please consider the following simple case: I have a class like setClass("myClass", representation(x="matrix", y="character")) and I would like to use the method *"["* for a *myClass* objects (but changing the default *drop* argument from TRUE to FALSE): setMethod("[","myClass", function(x,i,j,...,drop=FALSE)

Hi, > gctorture(TRUE) > setGeneric("foo", function(x, y) standardGeneric("foo")) [1] "foo" > setMethod("foo", c("ANY", "ANY"), + function(x, y) cat("calling foo,ANY,ANY method\n") + ) Error: protect(): protection stack overflow Sorry this is something I already reported one week ago here

Dear all, I am just writing the documentation file for S4 class 'QualTreeSet' and get the following warning with R CMD check: * checking for missing documentation entries ... WARNING Undocumented S4 methods: generic 'initialize' and siglist 'QualTreeSet' All user-level objects in a package (including S4 classes and methods) should have documentation entries. See the

Can someone explain what the problem is when I use the generating function? And how to get debug() to stop in the Superclass initialize method? ---- source ----- setClass("Superclass", representation(id = "character"), contains = "VIRTUAL") setMethod("initialize", signature(.Object = "Superclass"),
