# S4 method for NULL
getName(object, ...)

# S4 method for lcMethod

Arguments

object

The object.

...

Not used.

Value

A nonempty string, as character.

Details

For lcModel: The name is determined by its associated lcMethod name and label, unless specified otherwise.

Implementation

When implementing your own lcMethod subclass, override these methods to provide full and abbreviated names.

setMethod("getName", "lcMethodExample", function(object) "example name")

setMethod("getShortName", "lcMethodExample", function(object) "EX")

Similar methods can be implemented for your lcModel subclass, however in practice this is not needed as the names are determined by default from the lcMethod object that was used to fit the lcModel object.
