clone.DTSg

Clone Object

Description

Clones (copies) a DTSg object. Merely assigning a variable representing a DTSg object to a new variable does not result in a copy of the object. Instead, both variables will reference and access the same data in the background, i.e. changing one will also affect the other. This is not an issue when calling methods with the DTSgClone option or clone argument set to TRUE, but has to be kept in mind when setting fields, as they are always modified in place. See DTSg for further information.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'DTSg'
clone(x, deep = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

`x`	A `DTSg` object (S3 method only).
`deep`	A logical specifying if a deep copy is made (for consistency with `R6Class` the default is `FALSE`, but should generally be set to `TRUE`).
`...`	Not used (S3 method only).

Value

Returns a DTSg object.

Examples

# new DTSg object
x <- DTSg$new(values = flow)

# make a deep copy
## R6 method
x$clone(deep = TRUE)

## S3 method
clone(x = x, deep = TRUE)
