title: OpenLayers - Updating initialize method of Class call
body: <p>I would like to update one of the variables in a vector layer class after the original call to the class</p>
  
  <pre><code>OpenLayers.Layer.Observations = OpenLayers.Class(
    OpenLayers.Layer.Vector, {
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where one of the options is the initialize method: </p>
  
  <pre><code>initialize: function(name, displayStyle, options) {
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems like you can't just override the initialize method...</p>
  
  <pre><code>var lyrObs = new OpenLayers.Layer.Observations("Observations",...
  
  lyrObs.initialize(...)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there another way to update that initialize methods variable?</p>
