R.methodsS3-package: Package R.methodsS3

In R.methodsS3: S3 Methods Simplified

Package R.methodsS3

Description

Methods that simplify the setup of S3 generic functions and S3 methods. Major effort has been made in making definition of methods as simple as possible with a minimum of maintenance for package developers. For example, generic functions are created automatically, if missing, and naming conflict are automatically solved, if possible. The method setMethodS3() is a good start for those who in the future may want to migrate to S4. This is a cross-platform package implemented in pure R that generates standard S3 methods. This contents of this package originates from the R.oo package [1].
