You can pass it: NextMethod("fn", x = uniqueFoo2, common = common) On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 10:42 PM, Wincent wrote: > Thanks Gabor. > > Still, there is one problem. If the common argument is > common=c("opt1","opt2") and I want to use match.arg(common) in side > fn.foo1, then an error is encount

Re: [R] suggestion on method dispatch

Thanks Gabor. Still, there is one problem. If the common argument is common=c("opt1","opt2") and I want to use match.arg(common) in side fn.foo1, then an error is encountered. fn <- function(x,...) UseMethod("fn") fn.default <- fn.foo1 <- function(x, common=c("opt1","opt2"), ...) { match

Re: [R] suggestion on method dispatch

Define fn.default as a synonym to fn.foo1 (or just rename fn.foo1 as fn.default) and then use NextMethod as shown: fn <- function(x,...) UseMethod("fn") fn.default <- fn.foo1 <- function(x, commonA=1, ...) { print("fn.foo1 is called.") } fn.foo2 <- function(x, uniqueFoo2, common=1, ...){

[R] suggestion on method dispatch

Dear all, I have define a function and its methods as follows: beginning of code fn <- function(x,...){ UseMethod("fn") } fn.foo1 <- function(x, commonA=1, ...){ print("fn.foo1 is called.") } fn.foo2 <- function(x, uniqueFoo2, common=1, ...){ ## uniqueFoo2 is a unique argument in fn.fo
