similar to: using trace() on S4 coerce method

I am seeing this in my ferret_server.log when I do a search: DRb server: ensure_index_exists for class Myclass1 DRb server: ensure_index_exists for class Myclass2 DRb server: ensure_index_exists for class Myclass3 DRb server: ensure_index_exists for class Myclass4 #method_missing(:id_multi_search, ["Myclass1", "test*", ["Myclass4", "Myclass3",

Dear All, is there a simple way to retain the class attribute of a column, if merging two data.frames? When merging the example data.frames form help(merge) I am unable to keep the class attribute as set before merging (see below). Two columns are assigned new classes before merge (myclass1, myclass2), but after merge the resulting column has class "character". best regards, Heinz

Hi, We've observed rather strange behavior related to as(). When as() is used to make a conversion to a super class, an invalid entry is inserted into the table of methods. > setClass("A", contains="list") > get(".MTable", environment(coerce))[["list#A"]] NULL > as(list(), "A") > get(".MTable",

bindingIsLocked applied to a locked binding returns a 'logical' that is niether true nor false. Martin > e <- new.env() > e$x <- 1 > e$y <- 2 > lockBinding("x", e) NULL > bindingIsLocked("x", e) [1] TRUE > bindingIsLocked("x", e)==TRUE [1] FALSE > bindingIsLocked("x", e)==FALSE [1] FALSE >

We have had some conversation within R core, lead by Duncan Murdoch and me, about a proposal to extend the current tracingState() functionality by something tentatively called debuggingState(). Duncan has allowed me to copy the previous conversation (after very minor editing): The following is quite technical and assumes you know more about R's debug()ing and trace()ing than an estimated

Hello, assignInNamespace refuses to assign an object to a name that is not already used in the namespace.

I wish to make modifications to the plot.pedigree function in the kinship package. My attempts to contact the maintainer have been unsuccessful, but my question is general, so specifics of the kinship package might not be an issue. My first attempt was to make a new function Plot.pedigree in the .GlobalEnv which mostly achieved what I wanted to. However, I'm sure that's not the tidiest

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)

hello, if i load the RSQLite package in addition to the RPostgreSQL package, i get various errors when trying to use RPostgreSQL functions. here is an example transcript showing one such error: ========================================================== R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30) [...] > packageVersion('RPostgreSQL') [1] 0.3.2 > packageVersion('RSQLite') [1] 0.11.1

Hi, While checking the package I am getting all the time the following complain about the function: Undocumented S4 methods: generic coerce and siglist matrix,Massvector I have not defined the function nowhere in the R files. My gues is that this has something to do with the following definition of the setAs function. setAs("matrix","Massvector" ,def=

(I am not sure if this is a bug or a request for a more understandable warning, or possible something obvious I should be posting on r-help.) I am trying to coerce an new class object to be a DBIConnection and it does not work the way I think it should: R version 2.5.1 (2007-06-27) ... > require("RMySQL") # or require("RSQLite") Loading required package: RMySQL Loading

Hi, It doesn't seem that the dispatching algo is finding my coerce method under some circumstances. Let's say I have 2 classes, A and AA and that AA is just a direct extension of A with no additional slots: setClass("A", representation(ii="integer")) setClass("AA", contains="A") I can define a method for coercing my objects to an integer

Would you please clarify your exact use case?

At this point I would just due: formals(body(method)[[2L]]) At some point we need to figure out what to do with this .local() confusion.

Hello, I have a simple class that looks like: setClass("statisticInfo", representation( max = "numeric", min = "numeric", beg = "numeric", current = "numeric", avg = "numeric", obs = "vector"

I'm attempting to reflect the information for use with corresponding fields in GUI (in a different package), to provide default values, argname as key for UI label lookups, etc. So I want something much more like the formals of the implementation: { "object", "method": c("median", "vs", "tukey"),

Dear list, here is a problem I met when trying to use a method for an S4 object, without loading the package in which the method was defined. I do not know if this is a bug, or a mistake of mine. Normally, I think the package in which the appropriate method is defined is loaded automatically when calling the method. The problem is that if the package is indeed loaded automatically, the

Hi, perhaps a little bit unusual: is it possible to use "<- " as generic function with a new signature? The following example doesn't work: > isGeneric("<-") [1] FALSE > setClass("A",representation(x = "numeric")) [1] "A" > setClass("B",representation(x = "numeric")) [1] "B" > myAssign.A <-
