Description Usage Arguments Calling dsproto methods Calling methods in a parent Examples

Description

dsproto draws from the prototype implementation in ggplot2, which in turn is inspired by the ggplot2's implementation, with improvements in inheritance and performance. The ggplot2 implementation is copyright by Hadley Wickham and Winston Chang, and released under GPLv2.

dsproto(`_class` = NULL, `_inherit` = NULL, ...)

dsproto_parent(parent, self)

## S3 method for class 'dsproto'
print(x, ..., flat = TRUE)

## S3 method for class 'dsproto'
format(x, ..., flat = TRUE)

## S3 method for class 'dsproto_method'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'dsproto_method'
format(x, ...)

Arguments

_class

Class name to assign to the object. This is stored as the class attribute of the object. If NULL (the default), no class name will be added to the object.

_inherit

dsproto object to inherit from. If NULL, don't inherit from any object.

...

parent, self

x

#Create a class called "dog"
doggy <- dsproto(`_class` = "dog", `_inherit` = NULL)
#Add children to the parent class "dog". Then add members.
GS <- dsproto(`_class` = "German Shephard", `_inherit` = doggy,
        name = "Pedro",
        color = "Brown",
        personality = "Friendly",
        age = 1,
        parents = list("Spot", "Alfred"),
        birthday = function(self) self$age = self$age + 1)
#Call those members
GS$color
GS$age
#Call a function member
GS$birthday()
#Happy Birthday to Pedro! Your dog is now 2! Let's see what the age returns
GS$age
