[BioC] Using htmlpage

[john seers (IFR)]

Hi Jim


Searching on ellipsis and pass through I got the following.

"The second argument to boot(), called 'statistic', can be
any user-written function you want to cook up, with additional
arguments being passed to it through the '...' mechanism after
all of the named arguments. (See: `R-intro `Writing your own
functions `The ellipsis argument for details.)"

Looking at the boot code shows the user function "statistic" in the
signature and various calls to statistic of the form 

t0 <- statistic(data, original, rep(1, sum(m)), ...)


function (data, statistic, R, sim = "ordinary", stype = "i", 
    strata = rep(1, n), L = NULL, m = 0, weights = NULL, ran.gen =
function(d, 
        p) d, mle = NULL, simple = FALSE, ...) 
{

This is sort of what I had in mind. (Though I have not found the code to
pass through the "rest" of the variables.). No parsing needed.


>However, the ellipsis is designed to pass arbitrary variables to
underlying code.

I think that is what I am suggesting needs to be done - pass through
arbitrary variables. Perhaps a problem you have is htmlpage calls
getCells which calls getQueryLink which calls the helper function(s).  

Not sure if this is any help to you.

Regards

John
