similar to: Problem with S4 generic function print

Hi, A lowess method is defined in our package for one of our S4 classes. To explicitely define the generic this is being used if (!isGeneric("lowess")) setGeneric("lowess", useAsDefault = lowess) This works fine for many other methods inherited from various R packages. In this case a warning is issued in R CMD check: * checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE

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

I maintain the Irregular Time Series (its) package on CRAN. I am currently testing a release. Under 1.8.1 I am able to define a S4 generic 'start' as follows: if(!isGeneric("start")) {setGeneric("start", useAsDefault=start)} Under 1.9.0, Rcmd check generates an error, as 'start' is not recognised. If I use the NAMESPACE directive IMPORT, all is well:

Hi, after updating R 2.5.0 devel yesterday we today observed many new unexpected failures in our daily package build and test system runs, which can be traced to recent changes in the implementation in try() (as noted in NEWS). Investigating this new implementation I come across an issue in conjuntion with using S4 classes and methods. try(expr) does not return an object with attribute

Hi I have some problems in defining new generic functions and classes. Just have a look at the following example: require(fPortfolio) setClass("PROBECLASS", representation( type="character" ) ) isGeneric("setType<-") #Returns TRUE #I would like to define a specific function for

Faceting in ggplot2 seems to permit different scales for different facets, but I fail to see how one could control ylim and xlim ranges for each facet separately. For instance, I would like to set the ylim = c(0,10) for facet "A" and ylim = c(42,102) for facet "B". Since the data is out of these ranges, setting facet_grid(factor ~ ., scales = "free_y") does not

Hi, I'm writing methods for a package called FLCore (see http://flr-project.org/) in particular for a class called "FLQuant" which extends array. Previously I was able to write methods based on the class of "data" but now I can not do it due to the single parameter "x". Is there a way to do this ? Regards EJ

I'm hoping that someone with deeper insight into S4 than I, that is to say virtually everyone reading this list, could help resolve the following problem in SparseM. We have setGeneric("backsolve", function(r, x, k = NULL, upper.tri = NULL, transpose = NULL, twice = TRUE, ...) standardGeneric("backsolve"), useAsDefault= function(r, x,

i believe the following is true but would appreciate confirmation that it is intended behavior and will continue: if a default argument is employed in the definition of a generic function, and the generic is called with the argument in question (call it 'ARG') missing, then the method for signature (..., ARG = "missing", ...) will be called by 'standardGeneric'

please see the code below. foo2 fails to dispatch correctly, but foo does fine. i have tried 'cacheMetaData(1)' and a number of different variants of 'cacheGenericsMetaData', on the possibility there is a caching issue. but i still can't sort it out. also one general question: does it really matter what's in the body of the function definition in a

Dear all, I am experiencing some problems with S4 method overloading. I have defined a generic for graphics:plot, using setGeneric("plot", useAsDefault = plot) and with importFrom('graphics', 'plot') and exportMethods('plot') in the NAMESPACE file of pkg A. I then proceed to define a method for signature c('myS4class', 'missing'). This works

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

Hello. This question concerns the Methods package. I have created a new class and am trying to set a method for it for S4 group generic "Summary". I have run into some signature problems. An example: > setClass("track", representation(x="numeric", y="character")) [1] "track" > setGeneric("max", group="Summary")

Hello, I'm not sure how to go about this. Suppose I have a function SEXP boo(SEXP x){ //do something } Also, I have an executable which embeds R in itself. I would like to provide a R function to user code to call that calls 'boo' e.g ##user supplied expression that is given to me x<-1 boo(x) One way is to create a library with function boo that performs .Call to boo, but is

Thank You David and Mats for the reply, The reason I need to know that main is the entry point is as follows : I have a dead code elimination pass that removes the function call for boo. boo was initially called from the main function , but since the return in the main function has no dependency on boo, boo function call is removed. Now I want to remove the function definition of the functions

Hi, I'm able to create a library with R CMD INSTALL cmd, etc... I'm just wondering.. is it possible that when the user says library(boo), it runs some initialization code? I have a dumb R file that is: print(2) boo <- function(x){} when I R CMD INSTALL the library, I'm able to see 2 in my unix console.. but when I do library(boo) in R afterwards.. I don't see

Does anybody know how to negate a string in a grep command, i.e., what I need is to return only strings that do NOT contain a second string anywhere in the entire string. for txt <- c("boo","goo","doob","foo","boofoo") I need a grep command that returns strings with "oo" except when "b" is present anywhere. I know that

Hi, let's say I have this A = matrix(c(1, 2, 4), nrow=1) colnames(A)=c("YOO1", "YOO2", "YOO3") # ie # YOO1 YOO2 YOO3 #[1,] 1 2 4 HELLO <- NULL HELLO$YOO1="BOO" HELLO$YOO2="BOO" HELLO$YOO3="HOO" and I want a matrix that will sum my categorization.. how can I do it efficiently without any loop? #ie BOO HOO
