S4Arrays

Foundation of array-like containers in Bioconductor


Bioconductor version: Release (3.20)

The S4Arrays package defines the Array virtual class to be extended by other S4 classes that wish to implement a container with an array-like semantic. It also provides: (1) low-level functionality meant to help the developer of such container to implement basic operations like display, subsetting, or coercion of their array-like objects to an ordinary matrix or array, and (2) a framework that facilitates block processing of array-like objects (typically on-disk objects).
