DO *NOT* post to both R-help and R-devel !! That is considered *very* impolite.
As this is a question for R-help only, i.e., not fit for R-devel anyway : >>>>> Witold E Wolski <wewol...@gmail.com> >>>>> on Wed, 14 May 2014 10:57:09 +0200 writes: > Have a class for which I would like to provide a "colnames<-.myclass" > function so that > colnames(myintsance) <- c("a","b","c") > can be called. This is not easily possible, as `colnames<-` is *not* a generic function. OTOH, this is not necessary either, as colnames, rownames are basically just short cuts for dimnames anyway: As `dimnames<-` *is* a generic function, so you write methods for `dimnames<-`.
