clone.World: Clones itself and its niches

In galgo: Genetic Algorithms for Multivariate Statistical Models from Large-Scale Functional Genomics Data

Description

Clone itself and its niches. Objects in S3 and this package are passed by reference and any “pointer” to it will affect the original object. You must clone an object in order to conserve the original values.

Examples

  cr <- Chromosome(genes=newCollection(Gene(shape1=1, shape2=100),5))
  ni <- Niche(chromosomes=newRandomCollection(cr, 10))
  wo <- World(niches=newRandomCollection(ni,2))
  wo
  wo2 <- wo
  generateRandom(wo2)
  wo2
  wo			# wo and wo2 are the very same object
  wo3 <- clone(wo2)
  generateRandom(wo3)
  wo3
  wo2			# now wo2 is different to wo3
  wo			# but wo2 is still the same than wo
