Okay, thanks for the input, All. I'd settled on the explicit coercion
as.data.frame as well as the myObject[] syntax which makes a lot of sense. I'd
also like to implement an as.double() method. However, I'm having trouble
embedding this into my package. In the R file I have:
setMethod("as.
To respond a little more directly to what you seem to be asking for:
You would like an "automatic" conversion from your class (you don't give us its
name, let's call it frameHDF for now) and "data.frame".
In R (and in OOP generally) this sounds like inheritance: you want a frameHDF
to be valid

Hi All,
I'm currently trying to write an S4 class that mimics a data.frame, but stores
data on disc in HDF5 format. The idea is that the dataset is likely to be too
large to fit into a standard desktop machine, and by using subscripts, the user
may load bits of the dataset at a time. eg:
> m
