Hi I'm writing some functions and I want to use some classes and related ploting methods. I want to know if there is a list of classes implemented in R and R packages. I want to be shure that I'm not going to implement a class with the same name as in other package.
That's impossible to know: there is not even a list of all R packages, and the contents of those on CRAN changes a few hundred times a year. It is not even possible to find the list of classes used by a single package, as the class names can be generated dynamically by R code. I suggest that if you call your class JoseErnestoJardim.foo you are likely to be safe. Well, that's overkill, but use a long descriptive name to minimize the risk.
