R: Object doesn't find custom function












1















I'm newbie in R and I want to create an object with his methods. I have defined my object and function with these code:



setClass("gComparativa", slots=list(data="ANY"))
show_graphic <- function(object) 0
setGeneric("show_graphic")
setMethod("show_graphic", "gComparativa", function(object){
})


I create and call the method with these code:



g <- new("gComparativa", data=data)
g.show_graphic()


But when I call the method I've this error:




Error in g.show_graphic() : This function cannot be found
"g.show_graphic"




What am I doing wrong? What can I define methods and call later?

    Might be other issues and I'm not the most familiar with S4 but you don't call methods in R with dot notation like that, you just do show_graphic(g). See more here adv-r.hadley.nz/s4.html#s4-generics

You'll need



show_graphic(g)


instead. R's OOP systems don't generally work like many other programming languages. (Here's a good primer).



You can't access class functions via <objectname>.<functionname>(), but rather you just call the function on the object like <functionname>(<objectname>).



Consider that dots can be part of an object name in R; for example try



example.object <- 2
example.object
# [1] 2
