Description Objects from the Class Methods Extends Author(s) See Also Examples

The class "atomicVector" is a virtual class containing all atomic vector classes of base R, as also implicitly defined via is.atomic.

A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.

In the Matrix package, the "atomicVector" is used in signatures where typically “old-style” "matrix" objects can be used and can be substituted by simple vectors.

The atomic classes "logical", "integer", "double", "numeric", "complex", "raw" and "character" are extended directly. Note that "numeric" already contains "integer" and "double", but we want all of them to be direct subclasses of "atomicVector".
