Clones (copies) a DTSg object. Merely assigning a variable representing a
DTSg object to a new variable does not result in a copy of the object.
Instead, both variables will reference and access the same data under the
hood, i.e. changing one will also affect the other. This is not an issue when
calling methods with the DTSgClone option or clone argument set to
TRUE, but has to be kept in mind when setting fields, as they are always
modified in place. See DTSg for further information.
# S3 method for DTSg
clone(x, deep = FALSE, ...)A DTSg object (S3 method only).
A logical specifying if a deep copy shall be made (for
consistency with the R6::R6Class the default is FALSE, but should
generally be set to TRUE).
Not used (S3 method only).
Returns a cloned DTSg object.
# new DTSg object
x <- DTSg$new(values = flow)
# make a deep copy
## R6 method
x$clone(deep = TRUE)
