| updateObjectTo {Biobase} | R Documentation |
The updateObjectTo generic function returns an instance
of object updated to the class definition of template.
It requires that the class of the returned object be the same as the
class of the template argument, and that the object is valid.
Usually, updating proceeds by modifying slots in
template with information from object, and returning
template. Use as to coerce an object from one
type to another; updateObjectTo might be useful to update a
virtual superclass. By default, updateObjectTo has the following
behavior:
updateObjectTo(ANY-object,ANY-template)Attempt as(ANY-object,class(ANY-template)).
updateObjectTo(object, template, ..., verbose=FALSE)
