TypedList-class: Type-strict List (TypedList-class)
In sbcblab/geva: Gene Expression Variation Analysis (GEVA)

Description Value Slots Methods Examples

List containing elements of the same class or inheritance.

A TypedList object

.Data: list of internal contents. Elements must match or inherit a common class
(Inherited from list)
elem.class: character representing the class related to the elements

Constructors

typed.list(..., elem.class = NA_character_): Creates a TypedList from the elements in ... derived from the class elem.class

Conversion and coercion

as.list(x, ...): Converts this object to list
as.typed.list.list(x, elem.class = NA_character_): Converts a list to a TypedList if its elements inherit the same type
as.typed.list(x, elem.class = NA_character_): Coerces a TypedList to support the inherited class indicated by elem.class
as.typed.list.vector(x, elem.class = NA_character_): Converts a vector to a TypedList

Properties

x[i, j, ...] <- value: Sets a value to this list. The value argument must be compatible to the current list type

## Creates a TypeList that stores list-derived objects
tpls = typed.list(A=list(1L:5L),
                  B=data.frame(v1=LETTERS[1L:10L]),
                  elem.class = 'list')

# Note: The 'elem.class' above is optional, since the
# class is automatically detected from the first argument
