Hello, If the signature of a method defines which generic it implements then I'm confused about why this minimal example I invented won't work :
setGeneric("myFun", function(rs, ...){standardGeneric("myFun")}) setGeneric("myFun", function(cs, ...){standardGeneric("myFun")}) setMethod("myFun", "numeric", function(rs, colour = "Blue") { cat(rs*100, colour) }) setMethod("myFun", "character", function(cs, colour = "Red") { cat(cs, colour) }) Thanks for any tips, Dario. -------------------------------------- Dario Strbenac Research Assistant Cancer Epigenetics Garvan Institute of Medical Research Darlinghurst NSW 2010 Australia ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
