coerce {flowCore}R Documentation

Force an Object to Belong to a Class

Description

These functions manage the relations that allow coercing an object to a given class.

Arguments

from, to The classes between which 'def' performs coercion. (In the case of the 'coerce' function these are objects from the classes, not the names of the classes, but you're not expected to call 'coerce' directly.)

Details

The function supplied as the third argument is to be called to implement 'as(x, to)' when 'x' has class 'from'. Need we add that the function should return a suitable object with class 'to'.
