Re: [Rd] plot.function documentation/export?

2011-07-26 Thread Uwe Ligges 
Now I see the difference: I was using R-devel and that worked as you 
expected.

you mean the following line is in NAMESPACE rather than DESCRIPTION.


S3method(plot, function)


   Yes, sorry.




   [presumably the extra quotes are in there because function is a
reserved word?]

   I'm not sure where else the information should be.  Searching around in
the code tree for information on tail.function (which is listed in the
methods:


methods(class=function)

[1] as.list.function head.function*   print.function   tail.function*

I find the same S3method syntax, so I guess the quotation marks aren't
the problem ...


?tail.function



tells us this one is from package utils and you can search for this
function in the sources of the utils package



Or you could ask for


getAnywhere(tail.function)


and R tells you



A single object matching tail.function was found
It was found in the following places
   registered S3 method for tail from namespace utils

   Sorry, I didn't frame my question very clearly.  I can find
tail.function just fine, or I could if I wanted to.   What I don't
know is why methods(plot) and methods(class=function) don't list
plot.function even though its documentation and setup seem to be
similar to tail.function, which *does* show up in
methods(class=function) ...

  OK, I see that BDR did this on 2011-06-08 -- I was getting confused by
looking at the code of the development version but running the release
version.

  Thanks.
