my(n)                           TclOO Commands                           my(n)

NAME
       my - invoke any method of current object

SYNOPSIS
       package require TclOO

       my methodName ?arg ...?
______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       The my command is used to allow methods of objects to invoke any method
       of the object (or its class). In particular, the set of valid values
       for methodName is the set of all methods supported by an object and its
       superclasses, including those that are not exported. The object upon
       which the method is invoked is always the one that is the current
       context of the method (i.e. the object that is returned by self object)
       from which the my command is invoked.

       Each object has its own my command, contained in its unique namespace.

EXAMPLES
       This example shows basic use of my to use the variables method of the
       oo::object class, which is not publically visible by default:
              oo::class create c {
                  method count {} {
                      my variable counter
                      print [incr counter]
                  }
              }
              c create o
              o count              -> prints "1"
              o count              -> prints "2"
              o count              -> prints "3"
