Hi Martin I am re reading all the mail we exchange with new eyes because of all the thing I learn in the past few weeks. That very interesting and some new question occurs...
*********************************** Once, you speak about callGeneric : setClass("A", representation(x="numeric")) setClass("C", contains=c("A")) setMethod("show", "A", function(object) cat("A\n")) setMethod("show", "C", function(object) { callGeneric(as(object, "A")) cat("C\n") }) new("C") Considere the following definition (that you more or less teach me with your yesterday remarques...) : setMethod("show", "C", function(object) { callNextMethod() cat("C\n") }) In this case, is there any difference between the former and the latter ? Which one would you use ? (I get that in more complicate case, for example if setClass("C", contains=c("A","B")), it might be more complicate to use the latter, right ?) ************************* This works : setMethod("initialize","B", function(.Object,..., yValue){ callNextMethod(.Object, ..., y=yValue) return(.Object) }) new("B",yValue=3) but this does not : setMethod("initialize","B", function(.Object, yValue){ callNextMethod(.Object, y=yValue) return(.Object) }) new("B",yValue=3) Why ? Is there any help page about ... ? ************************** showMethods gives the list of all the method. Is there a way to see all the method for a specific signature IN THE ORDER they will be call by callNextMethod ? If ANY <- D <- E, a method that will gives : Function "initialize": .Object = "E" .Object = "D" .Object = "ANY" Thanks for your help And happy easter eggs !
