. About this package {R.oo} | R Documentation |
Methods and classes for object-oriented programming in R with or without references. Large effort has been made on making definition of methods as simple as possible with a minimum of maintainance for package developers. For example, generic functions are created automatically, if missing, and name conflict are automatically solved, if possible. The method setMethodS3() is a good start for those who in the future want to migrate to S4. The package has been developed since 2001 and is now considered very stable.
Please note that the Rdoc syntax/grammar used to convert Rdoc comments in code into Rd files is not strictly defined and is modified by the need of the author. Ideally, there will be a well defined Rdoc language one day.
