BaseReport-class {ReportingTools} | R Documentation

## Class `"BaseReport"`

### Description

A ReportType defines a way of representing an R object in a different, ordered format. Several ReportTypes have been detailed in this package, including classes for HTML reports and R data packages.

### Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form `new("BaseReport", ...)`. This is an abstract class that is inherited by other ReportTypes, and should not be used directly.

### Slots

`shortName`:

  A character string generally used as the filename for reports

`title`:

  A character string that gives a longer description of what the report shows.

`reportDirectory`:

  A file path that details where the report will be saved.

### Methods
