Duncan, Patrick, Sorry for not being very clear (and having non-working code in my example). What I'm actually trying to achieve is creating a wrapper around the NelsonSiegel function in the fBonds package in order to (among other things) create my own plot function. However, all of the objects i would like to access inside of my.function are not returned by the NelsonSiegel function. The are only local inside the NelsonSiegel function. Is there a way to inside my wrapper function access these objects?
my.function() <- { z <- NelsonSiegel(Yield, Maturity, doplot=FALSE) #here i would like to access objects not returned by NelsonSiegel } //Jonas On Sun, Aug 3, 2008 at 6:05 PM, Patrick Burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Duncan Murdoch wrote: >> >> On 03/08/2008 11:29 AM, Jonas wrote: >>> >>> hi, >>> >>> my apologies if this has been covered numerous times before and it's >>> only my lack of search and/or R skills that is stopping me from >>> finding the solution. >>> i'm trying to access an object defined and created inside a function >>> (the object is not returned by the function), but i can't seem to get >>> it to work, i keep getting an "object not found" error message. i >>> thought the solution where to be found in changing the >>> frame/environment. but i can't seem to understand how do do it >>> correctly. what i want to do is something like: >>> >>> my.function() <- { >>> function.from.package(x,y) >>> plot (object.inside.package.function) >>> } >> >> That pseudo-code doesn't really make sense: you didn't save the result of >> function.from.package() anywhere.
