[Rd] attributes of S4 objects

I am having a bit of a struggle deciding when to use attributes with S4 objects. Clearly the 'class' attribute will always be present. But it is not clear to me whether the architects of the methods package intend that other attributes, such as 'names', will still be used when the S4 impl

[Rd] R-devel: rownames of a data.frame

Hello! Data.frames have new rownames funcionality, however in use of colnames<- in R-devel "changes" this. Here is the example: > df1 <- data.frame(letters[1:5]) > attributes(df1) $names [1] "letters.1.5." $row.names [1] 1 2 3 4 5 $class [1] "data.frame" > colnames(df1) <- "bla" > attributes(d

Re: [Rd] demo names with spaces?

There are two issues here: 1) file names with spaces are not supported, and indeed you cannot install such a package on Windows. Because make is used, this is pretty fundamental. 2) The parsing code for 00Index used by 'check' assumes whitespace separates the name and the title. In index files

[Rd] demo names with spaces?

Does R support demo names with spaces? I tried placing a file like "My Demo Name.R" in the demo subdirectory, and placing a line that begins with "My Demo Name" in 00Index, but R CMD check does not like this. It reads the line in 00Index as "My, and it doesn't think there is a 00Index entry for "M

Re: [Rd] S4 Method dispatch in recent 2.4.0alpha

Although there is not enough information to be sure, this may be related to an issue uncovered in other testing, for which a patch has just been committed. The issue arises if the same generic function is defined in several packages. For example, Matrix and msbase both have methods for the p

Re: [Rd] package.skeleton() in R-2.4.1

The issue here is the incomplete deparsing of S4 objects in pre-2.4.0. I am really not sure you want to make a package this way: rather I would want the setClass etc calls in the package code. On Tue, 12 Sep 2006, Robin Hankin wrote: > Hi > > R version 2.4.0 alpha (2006-09-06 r39158) > MacOSX

And your point/question is? par(ask = TRUE) applies to all devices, including png. Try setting options(par.ask.default = FALSE in your example? On Wed, 13 Sep 2006, Henrik Bengtsson wrote: > Hi, > > I wish to return to the topic "[Rd] example(ask = .) - default ?" > discussed in R-devel on Ma
