Henrik, Your last suggestion did not work for me. It seems like it does not allow me to create a ClassB object with 3 arguments:
> setConstructorS3("ClassA", function(A=15, x=NA) { + extend(Object(), "ClassA", + .size = A, + .x=x + ) + }) > setConstructorS3("ClassB", function(..., bData=NA) { + extend(ClassA(...), "ClassB", + .bData = bData + ) + }) > b = ClassB(1,2,3) Error in ClassA(...) : unused argument(s) (3) I got around it using your 'specific' suggestion: > setConstructorS3("ClassA", function(A=15, x=NA) { + extend(Object(), "ClassA", + .size = A, + .x=x + ) + }) > > setConstructorS3("ClassB", function(..., bData=NA) { + extend(ClassA(A=15,x=NA), "ClassB", + .bData = bData + ) + }) > b = ClassB(1,2,3) > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
