Re: [Rd] super basic questions about S4 classes
Hi Andre, 1. Keep in mind that a S4 method belongs to a specific generic function, not to a specific object or class. There is none such thing as a class member function in the S4 system. As an example for illustration, consider the following class definitions in Java: class myClassA { int a; int myMethod(); } class myClassB { double b; int myMethod() } Assuming that myClassA and myClassB are not related by inheritance, the two instances of myMethod have nothing to do with each other. With S4 classes, you would have something like: setClass(myClassA, representation(a=integer)) setClass(myClassB, representation(b=numeric)) setGeneric(myMethod, function(x) standardGeneric(myMethod)) setMethod(myMethod, myClassA, function(x) {myMethodA}) setMethod(myMethod, myClassB, function(x) {myMethodB}) where the instances of myMethod belong to the same generic function. Note that because the methods do not belong to a specific class / object, the object on which to call must be passed as argument. Futhermore, it is impossible to have a method with a different argument list than the generic. Based on the code above, the following gives an error: setClass(myClassC, representation(c=character)) setMethod(myMethod, myClassC, function(x,y) {myMethodC}) while in Java it is no problem to have class myClassC { char c[]; int myMethod(int x, int y) } with a different argument list for myMethod. (Of course, different argument lists in methods are possible if one uses ... in the generic, this example was just meant as an illustration of the conceptual difference between class methods and generic functions.) There is a new approach in R called reference classes, which might provide what you are looking for. But I am not familiar with this paradigm. See ?ReferenceClasses. 2. A function in R is stored in a variable of the same name - as there can be only one variable with a distinct name (within the same scope), no overloading is possible. What I usually do is to provide all possible arguments and check which ones are missing (via missing()) to determine which to use to construct the object. Another possibility would be to make the constructor a method which dispatches on the parameter types. 3. S4 methods can be debugged with trace(), to which a method name and a signature can be passed. I think there is an item in the FAQ about this. There is one peculiarity with debugging if you have a method that has additional arguments compared to the generic, for example: setGeneric(myMethod, function(x, ...) standardGeneric(myMethod)) setMethod(myMethod, myClassA, function(x,y) {myMethodA}) In this case, the implementation for myMethod will define and call an inner function .local. In order to trace into this function, you have to call debug(.local) from the browser once the method has been traced. Hope this helps, Andreas A Zege schrieb: Apologies for asking something that is probably super obvious, i just started with S4 classes and i guess i am not finding documentation that layout the grammar rules and give enough examples. Some questions i am having are these 1. I understand that main method of writing a member function is to write a generic function and setMethod for this particular object. This, however, presumes that there is virtuality for this function, i.e. it could be used with other inherited classes . Truth is, many, if not most of my functions don't have virtuality in mind. I want to write them inside classes to achieve incapsulaton only -- use class member data without passing it as parameters or making global to a bunch of functions and have some specific class member functions that don't pollute a global namespace and can be called only for a particular class. This is what i know how to do with enclosures in R. Is there some obvious way of setting this environment local to a class without writing generic functions that i am missing? 2. Is it possible to overload functions in other ways than having default parameter values and prototypes? For example, can i have two constructors with completely different sets of parameters? 3. Is there some good way to debug S4 classes? I am very fond of mtrace() from debug package, but the simple set of commands i normally use doesn't take me into class methods. Would appreciate any pointers on these.. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/super-basic-questions-about-S4-classes-tp3428591p3428591.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel -- Andreas Borg Medizinische Informatik UNIVERSITÄTSMEDIZIN der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Institut für Medizinische Biometrie, Epidemiologie und Informatik Obere Zahlbacher Straße 69, 55131 Mainz www.imbei.uni-mainz.de Telefon +49 (0) 6131 175062 E-Mail: b...@imbei.uni-mainz.de Diese E-Mail enthält vertrauliche

Thank you very much, gentlemen. It seems reference classes will make my life much easier. I won't pretend that i fully understand the wizardry with environments that you do, but it works :). Namely the steps to mtrace a class method by doing what John and Mark outlined xx$edit-xx$edit mtrace(edit, from=xx) xx$edit(1,1,99) do the magic of starting mtrace which solves my problem for practical purposes. I was not able to make the second part of prescription related to debugging unconstructed objects work. Namely, whenever i do mtrace( edit, from=mEditor$def@refMethods) I get Error in parent.env(from) : the empty environment has no parent.

They just want to show users how to do something like this: replacementMethod(object)- newValue So is that really something that should not be allowed in a usage statement? If replacementMethod was a replacement function, then replacementMethod(object)- newValue is supposed to be fine. Yes, 'replacementMethod(object) - newValue' vorks indeed, but not 'replacementMethod(object) = newValue'. But if it is an S3 method, it should be \method{replacementMethod}{class}(object)- newValue and if it is an S4 method I think it should be \S4method{replacementMethod}{signature_list}(object)- newValue In the case reported by Marc, replacementMethod was both: a replacement (generic) function and a replacement method. And the man page had an alias for both. Marc replaced replacementMethod(object) = newValue with \S4method{replacementMethod}{signature_list}(object)- newValue and that solved the problem. But replacing '=' with '-' solves it too. Shouldn't 'R CMD check' treat the 2 assignment operators the same way since they are equivalent? Thanks! H. (though the manual suggests using the S3 style, I'm not sure how literally to take it).

They are not equivalent (you can't use = in many places where you can use -). Also my understanding is that it is considered bad practice by some to use = as assignment outside of the command prompt (interactive use) -- but opinions vary and I don't want to start a flame war here ;).

[Rd] Consistency of messages from R CMD {check,build,install}
A minor gripe/request: Could all R CMD package tools not at the very least be consistent in indicating when they are done, as in * DONE (packagename) or at least * DONE R CMD build leaves one hanging, not knowing whether it has completed or it is time to get another coffee. * checking for file 'C:/Documents/workspace/heplots/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * preparing 'heplots': * checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK * installing the package to re-build vignettes * creating vignettes ... OK * checking for LF line-endings in source and make files * checking for empty or unneeded directories * building 'heplots_0.9-8.tar.gz' Some checking/building processes take a while, so it would also be nice if more of the info lines ended with ...

[Rd] Compression of largish expression array files in the DAAGbio/inst/doc directory?
The inst/doc directory of the DAAG package has 6 files coral551.spot, ... that are around 0.85 MB each. It would be useful to be able to zip then, but that as matters stand interferes with the use of the Sweave file that uses them to demonstrate input of expression array data that is in the spot format. They do not automatically get unzipped when required. I have checked that read.maimages (in limma) does not, unless I have missed something, have an option for reading zipped files. Is there any way to get around this without substantially complicating the exposition in marray-notes.pdf (also in the inst/doc subdirectory)?
