sc90-registrationMethods: Generic Registration Methods

In SuperCurve: RPPA Analysis Package

Description

These routines represent the lower-level access for registration, which enables data-driven access by other routines. This represents the initial implementation and may change in the future.

Usage

getRegisteredObject(key,
                    envir,
                    objtype=c("method", "classname"))
getRegisteredObjectKeys(envir)
getRegisteredMethodKeys(envir)
getRegisteredMethod(key, envir)
registerClassname(key, classname, ..., envir)
registerMethod(key, method, ..., envir)

Arguments

key	character string representing a registered object
envir	environment where registered objects are stored
objtype	character string specifying type of registered object
method	function to register
classname	character string specifying class name to register
...	extra arguments for generic routines

Details

The routines here basically use the envir passed by the caller as a private hash table. The key argument is used to retrieve the value stored during registration.

getRegisteredMethodKeys is an alias for getRegisteredObjectKeys. getRegisteredMethod invokes getRegisteredObject with objtype of "method".

Value

getRegisteredObject returns list associated with key. List components will include named arguments provided upon registration.

getRegisteredObjectKeys returns vector of keys for all registered objects.

registerClassname is invoked for its side effect, which is registering classname (and optionally other named arguments) by association to key.

registerMethod is invoked for its side effect, which is registering method (and optionally other named arguments) by association to key.
