| glimpse {pillar} | R Documentation |
glimpse() is like a transposed version of print():
columns run down the page, and data runs across.
This makes it possible to see every column in a data frame.
It's a little like str() applied to a data frame
but it tries to show you as much data as possible.
(And it always shows the underlying data, even when applied
to a remote data source.)
This generic will be moved to pillar, and reexported from there as soon as it becomes available.
glimpse(x, width = NULL, ...)
x |
An object to glimpse at. |
width |
Width of output: defaults to the setting of the option
|
... |
Unused, for extensibility. |
x original x is (invisibly) returned, allowing glimpse() to be
used within a data pipe line.
glimpse is an S3 generic with a customised method for tbls and
data.frames, and a default method that calls str().
