Documentation for Eidos function elementType, which is a method of Eidos. Note that the R function is a stub, it does not do anything in R (except bring up this documentation). It will only do anything useful when used inside a slim_block function further nested in a slim_script function call, where it will be translated into valid SLiM code as part of a full SLiM script.

eidos_elementType(x)

Arguments

x

An object of type any. See details for description.

Value

An object of type string. Return will be of length 1 (a singleton)

Details

Documentation for this function can be found in the official SLiM manual: page NA.

Returns the element type of x, as a string. For the non-object types, the element type is the same as the type: "NULL", "logical", "integer", "float", or "string". For object type, however, elementType() returns the name of the type of element contained by the object, such as "Species" or "Mutation" in the Context of SLiM. Contrast this with type().
