gganimintproto {animint2} | R Documentation |
Create a new gganimintproto object
Description
gganimintproto is inspired by the proto package, but it has some important differences. Notably, it cleanly supports cross-package inheritance, and has faster performance.
Usage
gganimintproto(`_class` = NULL, `_inherit` = NULL, ...)
gganimintproto_parent(parent, self)
Arguments
_class |
Class name to assign to the object. This is stored as the class
attribute of the object. If |
_inherit |
gganimintproto object to inherit from. If |
... |
A list of members in the gganimintproto object. |
parent , self |
Access parent class |
Calling gganimintproto methods
gganimintproto methods can take an optional self
argument: if it is present,
it is a regular method; if it's absent, it's a "static" method (i.e. it
doesn't use any fields).
Imagine you have a gganimintproto object Adder
, which has a
method addx = function(self, n) n + self$x
. Then, to call this
function, you would use Adder$addx(10)
– the self
is passed
in automatically by the wrapper function. self
be located anywhere
in the function signature, although customarily it comes first.
Calling methods in a parent
To explicitly call a methods in a parent, use
gganimintproto_parent(Parent, self)
.
