I'm trying to adjust the way R prints a data frame to the console. Specifically, I want to print a data frame such that the text for a column wraps after a certain width is reached. Ideally, I want something that looks like the following:
v1 v2 v3
1 TRUE Some text TRUE
2 TRUE Some more text FALSE
3 TRUE This text wraps FALSE
after a certain
width
4 FALSE Even more text FALSE
5 TRUE More text TRUE
Here's a MWE:
data.frame(v1 = c(TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE), v2 = c("Some text", "Some more text", "This text wraps after a certain width", "Even more text", "More text"), y = c(TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, TRUE))
options(width=10)
Here's where I'm at:
Take a look at the pandoc.table
function in the pander
library. It seems to do what you are after http://rapporter.github.io/pander/pandoc_table.html
library(pander)
m<-data.frame(v1 = c(TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE), v2 = c("Some text", "Some more text", "This text wraps after a certain width", "Even more text", "More text"), y = c(TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, TRUE))
pandoc.table(m, split.cells = c(5, 20, 5))
