gganimintproto is inspired by the proto package, but it has some important differences. Notably, it cleanly supports cross-package inheritance, and has faster performance.
gganimintproto(`_class` = NULL, `_inherit` = NULL, ...)gganimintproto_parent(parent, self)
Class name to assign to the object. This is stored as the class
attribute of the object. If NULL (the default), no class name will
be added to the object.
gganimintproto object to inherit from. If NULL, don't inherit
from any object.
A list of members in the gganimintproto object.
Access parent class parent of object self.
gganimintproto methods can take an optional self argument: if it is present,
it is a regular method; if it's absent, it's a "static" method (i.e. it
doesn't use any fields).
Imagine you have a gganimintproto object Adder, which has a
method addx = function(self, n) n + self$x. Then, to call this
function, you would use Adder$addx(10) -- the self is passed
in automatically by the wrapper function. self be located anywhere
in the function signature, although customarily it comes first.
To explicitly call a methods in a parent, use
gganimintproto_parent(Parent, self).
