I get an error when I try to use \S4method in a usage section in an Rd file for a function. I tried to duplicate exactly how stats4 documents its method functions, but I must be missing something. Here is the top part of the Rd file:
\name{xyPlot-methods} \docType{methods} \alias{xyPlot-methods} \alias{xyPlot,numeric,numeric-method} \title{Methods for Function \code{xyPlot}} \description{ Create a line or scatter plot. } \usage{ \S4method{xyPlot}{numeric, numeric}(x, y, Plot = list(name = "", what = "lines", type = "solid", width = "standard", symbol = "circle", filled = TRUE, size = 0.09, color = "black"), yaxis.log = FALSE, yaxis.rev = FALSE, yaxis.range = c(NA, NA), xaxis.log = FALSE, xaxis.range = c(NA, NA), ylabels = 7, xlabels = 7, xtitle = deparse(substitute(x)), ytitle = deparse(substitute(y)), caption = "", margin = c(NA, NA, NA, NA)) } The error I get is Bad \usage lines found in documentation object 'xyPlot-methods': <unescaped bksl>S4method{xyPlot}{numeric, numeric}(x, y, Plot = list(name = "", what = "lines", type = "solid", width = "standard", symbol = "circle", filled = TRUE, size = 0.09, color = "black"), yaxis.log = FALSE, yaxis.rev = FALSE, yaxis.range = c(NA, NA), xaxis.log = FALSE, xaxis.range = c(NA, NA), ylabels = 7, xlabels = 7, xtitle = deparse(substitute(x)), ytitle = deparse(substitute(y)), caption = "", margin = c(NA, NA, NA, NA)) Here's my R info: R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) -- "Roasted Marshmallows" Copyright (C) 2012 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) The error is treated as a WARNING, so I can build and install the package and the documentation file looks fine when I ask for help on xyPlot-methods. What am I missing? Thanks. Dave [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
