DeaR list,

Pardon the stupidity of this question but I've been trying this for a while now without success.

I've followed the example given in the green book "programming with data", and I now have a working example of a S4 class with a few methods (plot, summary, as.data.frame). It's all very nice in one file, but I cannot find the way to put this information in a package. I've created several simple packages (without S4 classes) in the past using package.skeleton and manual editing / adding of some files. The question I have now is where do the setClass and setMethod live in the folder tree? I sort of believe they should be defined in a source file in the sub-directory R/, but is there a special name to give to these files, how do they get recognised during installation or build?

I've tried to find the answer in "writing R extensions" but I must have missed the relevant section.

Many thanks,

Sincerely,

Baptiste

PS: I'm not sure a minimal example is relevant, I could provide one if requested.
