.print.via.format {tools} | R Documentation |
.print.via.format
is a “prototype” print()
method, useful, at least as a start, by a simple
print.<myS3class> <- .print.via.format
.print.via.format(x, ...)
x |
object to be printed. |
... |
optional further arguments, passed to |
x
, invisibly (by invisible()
), as
print
methods should.
The print
generic; its default method
print.default
(used for many basic implicit classes such
as "numeric"
, "character"
and array
s of
them, list
s etc).
## The function is simply defined as function (x, ...) { writeLines(format(x, ...)) invisible(x) } ## is used for simple print methods in R, and as prototype for new methods.
