Okay, thanks for the input, All. I'd settled on the explicit coercion as.data.frame as well as the myObject[] syntax which makes a lot of sense. I'd also like to implement an as.double() method. However, I'm having trouble embedding this into my package. In the R file I have:
setMethod("as.double", "HD5Proxy", function(x) as.double(x[]))
and exportMethods(as.double) in my NAMESPACES file. However, on checking the package, I get an error saying that method "as.double" cannot be found. I noticed that the setMethod command actually returns a character vector with "as.numeric", so I'm assuming this is the problem. How do I explicitly export my as.double method?
Thanks,
Chris
