Construct views {BLCOP}

Create or add to a view object using a graphical interface

Description

These helper functions allow one to easily create or add to an object of class BLViews or COPViews through the use of R's built-in data editor.

Usage

createBLViews(allAssets, numAssetViews = 1, assetSubset = NULL, 
              mode = c("editor", "Window"))
updateBLViews(views, includeNullViews = FALSE, numNewViews = 0, assets = NULL)
createCOPViews (allAssets, numAssetViews = 1, assetSubset = NULL, 
                mode = c("editor", "Window")) 

Arguments

allAssets

A character vector holding the names of all of the assets in one's "universe"

numAssetViews

The number of views to form. Should be less than or equal to the total number of assets

assetSubset

A character vector of assets that is a subset of allAssets. Views will be formed only on this subset. By default, assetSubset = allAssets

.

mode

Mode of GUI. Currently unused

views

Object of class BLViews

assets

Set of assets to form or modify views on. If NULL, will use the full set of assets

includeNullViews

When updating views, should the 0 columns of the pick matrix be included?

numNewViews

In updateViews, this is the number of new views to add

Details

createCOPViews does not allow one to specify the distributions of the views at the moment. Such a feature may be added later through another GUI. At the moment the object returned by this function has its distribution set to a default. updateViews allows one to modify pre-existing views

Value

An object of class BLViews or COPViews that holds all of the views created.
