clone.DTSg: Clone object

In DTSg: A Class for Working with Time Series Data Based on 'data.table' and 'R6' with Largely Optional Reference Semantics

Clone object

Description

Clones (copies) a DTSg object. Merely assigning a variable representing a DTSg object to a new variable does not result in a copy of the object. Instead, both variables will reference and access the same data under the hood, i.e. changing one will also affect the other. This is not an issue when calling methods with the DTSgClone option or clone argument set to TRUE, but has to be kept in mind when setting fields, as they are always modified in place. See DTSg for further information.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'DTSg'
clone(x, deep = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	A DTSg object (S3 method only).
deep	A logical specifying if a deep copy shall be made (for consistency with the R6::R6Class the default is FALSE, but should generally be set to TRUE).
...	Not used (S3 method only).

Value

Returns a cloned DTSg object.
