[Rd] how to add method to .Primitive function

2005-05-07 Thread Vadim Ogranovich
Hi, I tried to write the dim method for the list class, but R doesn't seem to dispatch to it: dim.list = function(x) c(length(x[[1]]), length(x)) dim(list(1)) NULL dim.list(list(1)) [1] 1 1 What is the correct way of registering dim.list with .Primitive(dim)? Thanks, Vadim

Can anyone shed any light on what is going wrong here? Its based on simplifying some actual code that exists in model.frame.default. It looks like a bug to me. Thanks. data(iris) f.default - function(x, subset, ...) { subset - eval(substitute(subset), iris, .GlobalEnv) subset } # This one

But then mylist is not a list: x - new(mylist, x = list(x = 1, y = 2)) x[[1]] Error in x[[1]] : subscript out of bounds This is probably solvable by a sprinkle of setIs or setAs spells, but each time I get into the S4 area I feel walking a mine-field. All this exercise on my part was to write

Actually I think Simon's approach is a good one. Maybe Simon's comment was really intended to say that its dangerous to redefine list operations but it should not be dangerous to define a subclass of list and override operations that way. Also since the whole purpose of this is for speed I think

Its probably obvious but just for completeness, I missed the generic definition in pasting this into my post so I have added it below: On 5/7/05, Gabor Grothendieck [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can anyone shed any light on what is going wrong here? Its based on simplifying some actual code that
