Dear Spencer, I do not encounter any problem running your code in my machine. Maybe is something wrong with your R installation!
setClass('track', representation(x="numeric", y="numeric")) tr1 <- new("track", x=1:3, y=4:6) plot.track <- function(x, y, ...){ plot([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], xlab="x", ylab="y") } setMethod("plot", signature(x="track", y="missing"), plot.track) ## or setMethod("plot", signature(x="track", y="missing"), function(x, y, ...) plot([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], ...)) ## both work plot(tr1) Best, Dimitris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Spencer Graves" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 10:32 AM Subject: [R] S4 classes? > The following example, extracted from pp. 38-42 of Chambers (1998) > Programming with Data (Springer), works for me in S-Plus 6.2 but not R > 1.9.0pat, which returns the indicated error messages: > > > setClass('track', representation(x="numeric", y="numeric")) > [1] "track" > > tr1 <- new("track", x=1:3, y=4:6) > > setMethod("plot", > + signature(x="track", y="missing"), > + function(x, y, ...)plot([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], ...) > + ) > [1] "plot" > > plot(tr1) > Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : > need finite xlim values > In addition: Warning messages: > 1: no finite arguments to min; returning Inf > 2: no finite arguments to max; returning -Inf > 3: no finite arguments to min; returning Inf > 4: no finite arguments to max; returning -Inf > > Am I missing something or is my copy of R 1.9.0pat corrupted? > (This is under Windows 2000.) > > Thanks Much! > Spencer Graves > > ______________________________________________ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
