Documentation for SLiM function setGenomicElementType, which is a method of the SLiM class GenomicElement. 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.

setGenomicElementType(genomicElementType)

Arguments

genomicElementType

An object of type integer or GenomicElementType object. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). See details for description.

Value

An object of type void.

Details

Documentation for this function can be found in the official SLiM manual: page 677.

Set the genomic element type used for a genomic element (see section 1.5.4). The genomicElementType parameter should supply the new genomic element type for the element, either as a GenomicElementType object or as an integer identifier. The genomic element type for a genomic element is normally a constant in simulations, so be sure you know what you are doing.
