as.oClass: Convert Object to an oClass Generator

In oops: S3 Style Object Oriented Programming

Convert Object to an oClass Generator

Description

This function takes any named object such as an environment, fully-named list, or an Instance and converts it to an oClass generator function so that instances have access to the fields in the named object. See oClass for details about the arguments and functionality of the oClass generator.

Usage

as.oClass(
  x,
  name = NULL,
  inherit = NULL,
  portable = FALSE,
  hash = FALSE,
  formals = NULL,
  deep = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	object to be cloned and converted
name	character string describing the name of the class
inherit	oClass used as the parent.env for the generated instances
portable	logical indicating whether all inherited values should be copied into each instance
hash	logical indicating whether instances should use hashing, see new.env
formals	list containing the formal arguments for the resulting generator function. These are passed to the init function when a new instance is created.
deep	logical. Should the object be deep-cloned?
...	named fields inherited by the class instance

Value

a function of class "ClassGenerator" with attributes describing each generated class instance
