[R] problem with showMethods()

2013-09-21 Thread Day, Roger S
This message could be useful for people fairly new to S4 classes. Therefore r-help and not r-devel. One use for showMethods(), important to me, is to find all methods that use a particular class in their signatures. This works: showMethods(class="Action", where="package:CTDesignExplorer")

2010-05-31 Thread Day, Roger S
Hello Colleagues, I've recently become a fan of Mark Bravington's mvbutils package for organizing analysis projects in a tree. Using cd(), Save(), fixr(), mlazy() etcetera solves nicely some of the nuisances that have worried or annoyed me and sometimes caused big problems over the years. We
