registerEarlyEvent: SLiM method registerEarlyEvent

In rdinnager/slimrlang: Write SLiM Population Genetics Simulation Scripts in R

Description

Documentation for SLiM function registerEarlyEvent, which is a method of the SLiM class SLiMSim. Note that the R function is a stub, it does not do anything in R (except bring up this documentation). It will only do anything useful when used inside a slim_block function further nested in a slim_script function call, where it will be translated into valid SLiM code as part of a full SLiM script.

Usage

registerEarlyEvent(id, source, start, end)

Arguments

id	An object of type null or integer or string. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). See details for description.
source	An object of type string. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). See details for description.
start	An object of type null or integer. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). The default value is NULL. See details for description.
end	An object of type null or integer. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). The default value is NULL. See details for description.

Details

Register a block of Eidos source code, represented as the string singleton source, as an Eidos early() event in the current simulation, with optional start and end generations limiting its applicability. The script block will be given identifier id (specified as an integer, or as a string symbolic name such as "s5"); this may be NULL if there is no need to be able to refer to the block later. The registered event is added to the end of the list of registered SLiMEidosBlock objects, and is active immediately; it may be eligible to execute in the current generation (see section 24.9 for details). The new SLiMEidosBlock will be defined as a global variable immediately by this method (see section 23.10), and will also be returned by this method.

Value

An object of type SLiMEidosBlock object. Return will be of length 1 (a singleton)
