Printing Data Frames

Description

Print a data frame.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
print(x, ..., digits = NULL,
      quote = FALSE, right = TRUE, row.names = TRUE)

Arguments

x	object of class data.frame.
...	optional arguments to print or plot methods.
digits	the minimum number of significant digits to be used: see print.default.
quote	logical, indicating whether or not entries should be printed with surrounding quotes.
right	logical, indicating whether or not strings should be right-aligned. The default is right-alignment.
row.names	logical (or character vector), indicating whether (or what) row names should be printed.

Details

This calls format which formats the data frame column-by-column, then converts to a character matrix and dispatches to the print method for matrices.

When quote = TRUE only the entries are quoted not the row names nor the column names.

Examples

(dd <- data.frame(x=1:8, f=gl(2,4), ch=I(letters[1:8])))
     # print() with defaults
print(dd, quote = TRUE, row.names = FALSE)
     # suppresses row.names and quotes all entries
