You probably need the directive
importFrom(graphics, "plot")
in your NAMESPACE file. This lets the system know that you are using
the same "plot" function that it already knows about. And your code
should be careful not to trash a previous conversion of plot to an S4
generic function, usually by something like
if (!isGeneric("plot"))
setGeneric("plot", function(x, y, ...) standardGeneric("plot"))
Best,

Hi the list
I am creating a package and I have a problem to define a S4 method for plot.
I define a class 'A' and a class 'B'. I want to define a function plot for
signature c(A,missing) and another method plot for signature c(A,B). My code
is the following :
In /package/R/ directory:
--- main.R ---
setGeneric("plot",function(x,y,...){standardGeneric("plot")})
Aplot<- function(x,paramTraj=3){. . . .}
setMethod("plot",signature=c(x="A",y="missing"),Aplot)
ABplot<- function(x,y,paramTraj=5){. . . .}
setMethod("plot",signature=c(x="A",y="B"),ABplot)
---------------
In the root directory /package/
--- NAMESPACE ---
exportMethods("plot",. . . .)
exportClasses("A","B")
------
When I run the code (source("main.r")), every thinks works fine, either plot
on object of class 'A', on 'A,B' or on numeric plot(3).
The R CMD check bug on an example using plot(3).
The R CMD build works just fine. But if I try to install the package from
the builded file, I get the message:
The following object(s) are masked from 'package:graphics':
plot.
And then, I cannot use the classical function plot: plot on object 'A'
works, but plot(1) does not.
I try, reading some recent post on r-devel to remove the line 'setGeneric'
but it does not works (which does not surprise me since getGeneric("plot")
gives a NULL results).
Any idea of what goes wrong?
Christophe
