similar to: [R-pkg-devel] Three-argument S3method declaration does not seem to affect dispatching from inside the package.

Hi, I?aki, Thanks for looking into this.

R-exts.pdf discribes S3method a little bit. But I want to understand more on how it is called, implemented and when to use it. I don't find it in an R session. But I see S3method() in some NAMESPACE files. > S3method Error: object 'S3method' not found > ?S3method No documentation for 'S3method' in specified packages and libraries: you could try '??S3method' I

Dear all, I have defined a generic as.ff(x, ...) and a method as.ff.function(x, ...) which converts a standard R function x into a chunked version operating on large ff objects. Everything works fine, but when registering S3method("as.ff",function) in NAMESPACE, the installation fails with some kind of parsing error: adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file

Hello, I just subscribed to the list to join the discussion after being blindsided by the change and reading Dirk Eddelbuettel's reply to my bug report at https://bugs.debian.org/866768 . As far as I can tell the advantages of site library are: 1. Saves disk space and a little bit of user time spent installing and upgrading. 2. Other Debian package manages, like pip, default?to

I have updated the rms package to extensively use NAMESPACE. I cannot get certain S3 methods to dispatch. For example I have in NAMESPACE S3method(anova, rms) S3method(latex, anova.rms) anova.rms produces an object of class "anova.rms" and there is a latex.anova.rms function in rms. But when I do latex(anova(fit)) I get an invocation of latex.default. I have tried using

Hi guys I think there's a high chance this is a bug. But I can't rule out that I can be blamed for this. I've posted this to bugzilla (#15092). Then I read that I probably should have posted it to R-develop first. Sorry for doing this in the wrong order. I've set up a local repo on my local drive (happens to be mapped to L:/). It has the following structure (as per

I am writing my first R package, and I have been getting the following series of errors when I run R CMD check: * checking S3 generic/method consistency ... WARNING Error: package/namespace load failed for 'REEMtree' Call sequence: 2: stop(gettextf("package/namespace load failed for '%s'", libraryPkgName(package)), call. = FALSE, domain = NA) 1: library(package,

This filter caches the last result of the extents() call and offers a nice speed-up for clients that only support req_one=1 in combination with plugins like vddk, which has no overhead for returning information for multiple extents in one call, but that call is very time-consuming. Quick test showed that on a fast connection and a sparsely allocated 16G disk with a OS installed `qemu-img map`

Hi, from the man page ?methods, I expected to be able to build pairs (class,package) for a given S3 method, e.g., print, using attr(methods(print), 'info'). However all the methods, except the ones defined in base or S4 methods, get the 'from' value "registered S3method for print", instead of the actual package name (see below for the first rows). Is this normal

[Env: R 2.11.1, Win Xp, using Eclipse/StatET] In a package I'm working on, I want to create as.matrix() and as.array() methods for a particular kind of object (log odds ratios). These are returned in a loddsratio object as the $coefficients component, a vector, but really reflect an underlying (R-1)x(C-1)xstrata array, whose attributes are contained in other components. I define coef,

Hello, I try to set up namespaces for packages. It is fine for several of them, except one whose compilation fails (under Windows XP & R 2.0.0): ---------- Making package svViews ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file and metadata Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 21 Execution halted make[2]: *** [nmspace] Error 1 make[1]: ***

I am cleaning up the rms package to not export functions not to be called directly by users. rms uses generic functions defined in other packages. For example there is a latex method in the Hmisc package, and rms has a latex method for objects of class "anova.rms" so there are anova.rms and latex.anova.rms functions in rms. I use:

I posted on this topic to r-help, but never got a sufficient answer, so I'm reposting here.

Hi In NEWS, it says R CMD check now tests that the package can be loaded, and that the package and namespace (if there is one) can each be loaded in startup code (before the standard packages are loaded). For package "onion", I think I have followed all of sections 1.6.1 - 1.6.6 of R-exts, and it passes R CMD check for R-2.3.1. However, using R version 2.4.0 Under

I am trying to create a class union of class unions to facilitate method dispatch. When I execute code in the global environment, everything acts as expected, however when I put the same code in the context of a package, selectMethod can no longer find the correct method. This first block below puts the code in the context of a package: fn <- "codefile.R" writeLines( c(

Dear all, I am developing a package, which bundles my most frequently used functions. One of those is a modified version of droplevels from the base package (basically, it preserves any contrast function which was used to create the factor, contrast matrices are not kept, for they could be wrong if a level is dropped). In my NAMESPACE file I've the following directives, which should export
