similar to: Define S4 methods for 'plot'

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 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

Hi, I have a S4 based package package that was loading fine on R 2.5.0 on both OS X and Linux. I was checking the package against 2.5.1 and doing R CMD check does not give any warnings. So I next built the package and installed it. Though the package installed fine I noticed the following message: Loading required package: methods Error in loadNamespace(package, c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc),

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

Dear list, It seems that a package (pkgB) using another package (pkgA) with S4 generics formed by taking existing functions (for example 'plot') must not import the existing functions ('plot') in its namespace to avoid the warning "replacing previous import: plot". Suppose we use the simple 'import' directive in the name space of pkgB. pkgA and pkgB files would

Hello, I'm trying to make .DollarNames generic and implement a method for it in a package. .DollarNames is the function that is now called to get completion possibilities. My R code looks like this: setGeneric( ".DollarNames" ) setClass("track", representation(x="numeric", y="numeric")) ## A class extending the previous, adding one more

I've installed R-devel R Under development (unstable) (2014-07-09 r66111) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0 (64-bit) and am trying to resolve some problems that I am seeing with my SparseM package. In prior versions I explicitly had: setGeneric("image", function(x, ...) standardGeneric("image")) and then used setMethod to define a method for the class matrix.csr but

Hello all, I'd like to report a problem related to S4 classes. Platform: Mac G4/400 PCI (PPC-architecture) Mac OS 10.4.8 R 2.4.1 for Mac OS X (CRAN binary, 2006-12-19) w/ R.app 1.18 Last December, Simon Urbanek confirmed that the issue is not platform related, and that it is most likely a bug. He suggested to post my report to "the appropriate mailing list" -- I choose r-devel.

I hesitate to report this one because it is very likely system dependent, and I have very little faith in my browser. Still, it may point to something useful for someone to know. On NT4, after help.start() brings up the web interface just fine (despite the pessimistic warning on the terminal; is that still necessary?), I can do apparaently anything in the help system, except search. If I'm

Hi, I'm hoping to get some clarification of the intent of some of directives used in NAMESPACE files. 1. Is import(somePkg) also intended to import all classes and methods that are exported via exportClasses and exportMethods in somePkg? I think import pulls in classes and methods, but it isn't clear from the docs whether this is as intended. 2. What is exportMethods intended

R-Devel-ers: I have an S4 method that simply formats an object: setGeneric("formatMe", function(x) standardGeneric("formatMe")) setMethod("formatMe", "ANY", function(x) format(x)) If I issue the above in an R session, then define an S4 class with its own format method, I get the desired result: > setClass("A",contains="numeric")

Hello. I am trying to write an S4 method for rbind(). I have a class of objects called 'mdm', and I want to be able to rbind() them to one another. I do not want the method for rbind() to coerce anything to an mdm object. I want rbind(x1,x2,x1,x2) to work as expected [ie rbind() should take any number of arguments]. This is what I have so far: setGeneric(".rbind_pair",

In > R.version.string [1] "R Under development (unstable) (2011-12-15 r57901)" PkgA promotes 'unique' to a generic and exports that DESCRIPTION: Imports: methods R/f.R: setGeneric("unique") NAMESPACE: export(unique) and PkgB creates and exports a method on unique DESCRIPTION Imports: methods, PkgA R/f.R: setClass("B",

I have encountered an issue which I have been unable to resolve, involving an S3 generic (print) being declared S4 generic in a package, and the method being exported. This all works fine - the problem occurs when I try to import the method to another package. Here is the bit that works fine. ------------- #the .r file for package bar

PkgA wishes to write a method for 'unique' on S4 class 'A'. ?Methods indicates that one should setGeneric("unique") setClass("A") unique.A <- function(x, incomparables=FALSE, ...) {} setMethod(unique, "A", unique.A) Both S3 and S4 methods need to be exported in the NAMESPACE import(methods) S3method(unique, A)

Hi there, I'm working with an object whose internal data representation is very different from a data.frame (data is stored as a list of big.matrix objects from the bigmemory package) but to which I'd like to give users data.frame-like access. I've implemented names very easily as follows: setMethod("names", signature = "my.dataset", definition = function (x) {

I recently "discovered" how useful the search engine & keywords portion of R help can be. I often remember that I could do certain things in R but do not quite remember the right commands. The keywords by topic section of the search engine is particularly useful for that. It incorporates information from installed packages which makes it even more useful. I just ran into the

Hi, I have a BioC infra-structure package that works fine (I can build, check and load it successfully) on revision r53950. The very same package fails on r54591 with the error below: Error in loadNamespace(package, c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc), keep.source = keep.source) : cyclic name space dependency detected when loading ?oligoClasses?, already loading ?oligoClasses? I don't see anything

Hi, I started this post on bioc-devel but this seems to be more general: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2013-May/004311.html See reproducible example from Martin below. Thank you.

I created some S4 objects that are essentially data frame objects. The S4 object definitions were necessary to verify data integrity and force a standardized data format. I am, however, finding myself redefining all the typical generic functions so that I can still manipulate my S4 objects as if they were data frames ... I have used setMethod to set methods for "subset",
